A Ukrainian drone strike targeted the 'Yuzhnaya' power substation in Belgorod, Russia, damaging electrical infrastructure and breaking windows in a nearby apartment building. The attack has caused significant power outages, leading to traffic lights failing on some city streets and requiring traffic controllers to be deployed at intersections. Regional authorities are working to restore services, though the full extent of the damage remains unclear.
