Russian strikes kill 19 across Ukraine
Russian forces launched a series of deadly strikes across Ukraine over the past 24 hours, resulting in 19 deaths and 53 injuries. A morning strike in Kharkiv Oblast alone accounted for 10 of the fatalities. These attacks are part of an ongoing Russian campaign to target Ukrainian energy infrastructure and civilian areas, which officials describe as an attempt to 'weaponise winter' by degrading essential services ahead of the colder months.
