Russia strikes Ukraine's power grid hours before US election

Russia launched 59 cruise missiles and drones at Ukraine's power plants and substations late Monday, hours before Americans began voting in the US presidential election. A guided bomb also struck between two hospital buildings in Kharkiv, damaging the medical facility. The attacks targeted critical energy infrastructure across Ukraine, continuing Russia's campaign against the country's power grid. The timing of the strikes, just before the US election, drew international attention. Emergency crews responded to damage at multiple sites. The full extent of casualties and destruction was not immediately clear.
