Russian forces continued their attacks across Ukrainian regions on Tuesday, killing at least five people and damaging industrial sites and infrastructure. The attacks included strikes on industrial enterprises in Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, and Pavlohrad in the southeastern Dnipropetrovsk region, where three people were killed and six injured in Dnipro. Businesses and warehouse premises were damaged in Dnipro, and businesses were also hit in Pavlohrad and Kryvyi Rih.
Separately, an attack on an energy facility in a neighbouring region left nearly 100,000 consumers in the northern Chernihiv region without power. Moscow also carried out a "massive" attack on the central Poltava region, hitting an industrial enterprise and a critical infrastructure facility.
