In the early hours, Russia initiated a large-scale assault on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, leading to emergency power cuts across most regions, as reported by the state operator Ukrenergo. Ukrenergo confirmed that the attacks were ongoing and outlined that restoration work would begin as soon as the security situation allows. This brazen attack highlights the continuous threat posed to Ukraine’s critical energy facilities amidst the ongoing conflict.

In response to the regional threat, Polish authorities have temporarily closed two airports in southeastern Poland as a precautionary measure. The proximity of Russian attacks to Ukrainian territory raises alarms not only for Ukraine but also for its neighbors in the region, indicating that the ramifications of this attack could extend beyond Ukraine's borders, prompting heightened security measures in surrounding areas.

In Dobrotvir, located in the Lviv region, approximately 6,000 residents lost access to water and heating following a direct strike on an essential infrastructure facility. Local emergency services are on site working to restore utility services, indicating the severe impact of the attack on civilian life. This situation emphasizes the ongoing humanitarian crisis facing civilians in conflict zones and the urgent need for international support in restoring infrastructure and providing aid.
