Russian strikes cut power to thousands in Ukraine as Kherson ceasefire to end

A humanitarian ceasefire in Ukraine’s Kherson region is set to end Sunday night, even as Russian strikes continue beyond the local pause. The truce, introduced last week, enabled civilians in the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky to evacuate, including reunions between families separated for years. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia hit energy infrastructure across four regions overnight Saturday into Sunday, leaving hundreds of thousands without power. In Vinnytsia, another overnight strike killed two people, including a 13-year-old girl, Ukraine’s State Emergency Service reported. Zelensky also said a missile fuel producer in Russia’s Rostov region was hit, causing a fire and damaging four facilities.
