Russian strikes injure six in Ukraine as Moscow reports attacks on energy and port sites
Ukrainian authorities reported six injuries in Russian attacks, while Moscow said it struck power stations, a warehouse, port infrastructure and a cargo vessel.
Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine. An overnight Russian attack wounded four people in the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia, regional governor Mykhailo Semikin reported on Telegram on Monday. Ukraine’s emergency service said in a separate Telegram update that Russian attacks injured another two people in the Chernihiv region.
Moscow reports strikes on infrastructure
Russia’s defence ministry said on Telegram that its forces struck a power station in Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, as well as a warehouse elsewhere in the Kharkiv region. It also reported hitting a power station in the Khmelnitskiy region.
The ministry said further targets included Chornomorsk’s port infrastructure and a cargo ship travelling towards Odesa, which it described as serving military purposes.
US pressure over refinery attacks
The United States has urged Ukraine to pause attacks on Russian oil refineries, arguing that they have contributed to elevated energy prices. Those prices are a sensitive issue for the Trump administration during its war against Iran, with midterm elections due next month.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in an interview broadcast on Sunday that Kyiv would halt those attacks only if Moscow stopped striking power infrastructure.
As alternatives, he said Washington should permit Starshield to be used over Russia to identify missile launch locations or provide Ukraine with Patriot missiles.
