Russian drone attack on enterprise in Volyn kills one, injures several
Russian overnight attacks on nine regions of Ukraine knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of households and wounded at least 15 people, with strikes concentrated on western Ukraine near the Polish border, prompting Poland to scramble fighter jets. The escalation comes amid a sharp deterioration in U.S.-Ukraine relations, as Kyiv says it will no longer observe Trump's "energy ceasefire" and Britain reportedly continues supplying long-range missiles despite Washington's objections.
