Russia resumed its strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure overnight, according to Ukrenergo, the national grid operator, leaving consumers without power in five regions: Kyiv, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, and Sumy — the latter being the hardest hit. The attack marks a renewed campaign against the power grid after a period of relative quiet on that front; as The Zioneer previously reported, Russia has repeatedly targeted energy infrastructure over the past month, including a combined strike with 74 missiles and over 600 drones on June 15, and a missile and drone attack on Kyiv on June 18. Separately, one of Ukraine's largest internet providers began disconnecting service for Kyiv residents, compounding the civilian impact. Casualty figures and the full scope of infrastructure damage are not yet available.
