Officials in Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-biggest city, said the local power grid was damaged in a Russian air strike and that outages were possible. A Moscow-installed official in part of the Zaporizhzhia region controlled by Russia since soon after last year's invasion blamed the strikes on Ukrainian forces. He also reported seven drone attacks on nearby villages and Russian artillery fire on settlements near the front line.
