Russia's overnight missile and drone attacks left at least 600,000 people without power in Ukraine and killed three in Kyiv. Kyiv also says new Starlink speed limits are disrupting military operations at the front line.
01Summary
- 01President Volodymyr Zelensky said critical energy infrastructure was hit in Kyiv, the capital region and Kharkiv.
- 02Ukrainian officials said three people were killed in Kyiv after the overnight strikes.
- 03Ukraine said Russia launched 39 ballistic and cruise missiles and 128 drones, with four missiles and 115 drones shot down.
- 04Zelensky's adviser Serhiy Beskrestnov said Elon Musk's SpaceX had imposed a speed limit of 100mph, or 160km/h, on Starlink terminals.
- 05A Ukrainian defence ministry source said the Starlink restrictions were complicating logistics, unmanned systems and middle-strike missions.
02Why it matters
The strikes have left large numbers of Ukrainians without electricity and added pressure on already damaged energy systems. Any disruption to Starlink could also affect battlefield communications and drone operations, which are central to Ukraine's defence.
