More than 80 Russian missiles, including six Kinzhals, hit Ukraine; nuclear plant loses outside power

Ukraine's air force said Russia fired 81 missiles, including six hypersonic Kinzhals, and eight drones. Lviv governor Maksym Kozytskyi said five people were killed when a missile hit a residential area, and one person died in Dnipropetrovsk oblast; nearly half of Kyiv's households lost heating and about 150,000 households in Zhytomyr oblast lost power. The occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant was cut from the grid for hours, and IAEA chief Rafael Grossi warned that luck could run out. Russia's defence ministry said the strikes retaliated for an alleged incursion into Bryansk oblast, which Ukraine denied.
