Nearly 60,000 individuals lost electricity after an overnight Russian air assault on Ukraine's frontline Zaporizhzhia region, Ukrainian authorities reported Sunday, with fatalities confirmed in Odessa.

With winter approaching, Russia has intensified its missile and drone strikes, causing outages that pressure Kyiv's crews to repair and manage rolling blackouts. Zaporizhzhia faced destruction in the attacks, leaving two wounded, local governor Ivan Federov communicated via Telegram.
