A battery system that stores excess energy when it’s plentiful will power an apartment building in Buffalo, New York, when the grid is strained and electricity is costly. The manufacturer and state officials hope it will show that larger batteries can safely operate where people live and work. Buffalo-based battery storage manufacturer Viridi and developer Good Carbon Co. say the lithium-ion battery system is connected to the electric grid for Peace Bridge Place. Viridi says the 3.75 megawatt-hour system can power the building for several days. It's among the largest of these systems in a U.S. residential building.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Russia launched ballistic missiles and drones to attack Ukraine's energy infrastructure again. He noted Monday that Kyiv received no early warning from partner countries. The attacks damaged over 10 energy facilities, leaving more than half a million people without power, heat and running water. A 21-year-old woman was killed in Kyiv. Zelenskyy is also dealing with U.S. policy changes from President Donald Trump that benefit Russia, including waiving sanctions on Moscow. Meanwhile, limits on Ukraine’s use of SpaceX’s Starlink system have affected drone operations. Western intelligence has been crucial for Ukraine, but fears are growing that such support may wane.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged support for U.S. sanctions against Russia after President Donald Trump paused them. The White House decision raises fears of Ukraine's vulnerability to Russian attacks as winter approaches. Overnight, Russian strikes killed at least four people in Ukraine, while Ukrainian drones killed a woman in a Russian border region. Zelenskyy called Trump's move unfortunate but hoped sanctions can still be revived. Critics argue Trump's decision aids Russia. Meanwhile, Russia targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, while Ukrainian drones disrupted flights at Moscow airports.

Several brush fires are burning in Southern California, stoked by hot, windy weather that caused utility companies to shut off electricity for tens of thousands of people around the state. A rapidly spreading blaze in Malibu prompted evacuation orders and warnings Thursday for a large swathe of the Santa Monica Mountains. Firefighters worked to contain two other fires that had sparked in the afternoon and triggered evacuation orders in the city of Azusa, north of LA, and Camp Pendleton near San Diego. Weather conditions that increase the fire risk are expected to last through Saturday.

Ukraine abandons truce and attacks Russian oil refinery as Zelenskyy says he feels betrayed by Trump
Ukraine attacked a Russian oil refinery, abandoning a brief truce involving energy-related targets that it said Moscow did not heed. The strike happened Thursday as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he felt betrayed by President Donald Trump. The drone strike started a fire at the refinery about 300 kilometers (180 miles) southeast of Moscow. The attack could further complicate Kyiv’s relations with Trump, which have soured again in recent days. Zelenskyy said he was outraged by Russia’s continuing aerial bombardment of his country’s energy infrastructure in apparent defiance of Trump’s demand on Sunday for both sides to halt those attacks. On Thursday, Trump openly declared his dislike of Zelenskyy in an interview with Newsmax.
