Russia blasts Ukraine energy sites as Kharkiv injuries hit 62

Russia's Defense Ministry announced Tuesday that its military carried out another massive strike on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. In a Telegram post, the ministry said it hit energy facilities in the Vinnytsia, Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions used by the Ukrainian army. Port facilities and vessels used by the Ukrainian military in the Odessa region were also targeted, according to the ministry.

The bloodshed in Kharkiv is grim. A Russian strike hit a medical facility in the city's Nemyshlyansky district, badly damaging the building, Mayor Igor Terekhov said. The injured count now stands at 62, according to Oleh Syniehubov, head of the Kharkiv regional military administration. All of the wounded are receiving medical care, and 226 patients are being evacuated to other medical institutions.

Moscow's skies are busy too. Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said Russian air defenses intercepted another 13 drones heading toward the capital, bringing the total reported since midnight to 51. Earlier updates from Sobyanin reported waves of seven, 16 and 15 drones destroyed. Before midnight, another 46 drones were downed near Moscow.

The drone barrage isn't new. On November 2, Sobyanin said air defenses intercepted 46 drones heading toward Moscow in four separate waves: eight, 10, 10 and 18. Emergency services personnel were working at the sites where debris fell, he added.

The attacks and interceptions are the latest in a running exchange. Kharkiv's medical facilities are strained, with patients on the move. Moscow's air defenses remain on high alert.
