Russia carried out round-the-clock drone and missile attacks across Ukraine, killing at least six civilians and injuring 53, according to Ukrainian officials. The strikes caused damage in several areas as Ukraine reported battlefield advances in a recent counteroffensive.

The latest escalation comes despite continuing diplomatic contacts and proposed limits on attacks against energy infrastructure. The continuing strikes also raise concern about Ukraine’s ability to protect its power system as winter approaches.
