The attacks damaged more than 10 energy facilities and left approximately 550,000 Ukrainian families without electricity, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At least three people were killed and dozens of others injured in attacks across Ukraine, according to Ukrainian authorities. One woman was killed in the capital, Kyiv, while two other people died in the eastern city of Kryvyi Rih, officials reported. The strikes also damaged residential buildings, a metro station and other civilian infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Russia Targets Ukraine&#8217;s Energy Infrastructure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Ukrainian officials, Russian forces launched ballistic missiles and hundreds of drones in one of the country&#8217;s most extensive aerial attacks in recent months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Zelenskyy said that more than 10 energy infrastructure facilities were damaged during the overnight assault. The attacks affected electricity supplies in multiple regions, forcing authorities to introduce emergency power restrictions as repair teams worked to restore services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukraine&#8217;s energy infrastructure has repeatedly been targeted throughout the war, with power stations, electricity substations and other critical facilities sustaining damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest strikes come as Ukraine prepares for the winter months, when electricity and heating become essential for millions of people. Damage to the energy network could increase pressure on households, hospitals, schools and businesses if repairs are delayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukraine&#8217;s national grid operator, Ukrenergo, reported power outages in 10 regions and said emergency repair work was under way wherever security conditions permitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>More Than 550,000 Families Affected by Power Cuts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The attacks caused widespread disruption to electricity supplies, leaving approximately 550,000 families without power, according to President Zelenskyy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The outages have raised concerns about the availability of heating, water and other essential services as temperatures begin to fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Electricity disruptions can also affect water-pumping systems, public transport, medical facilities and industrial operations. In areas where infrastructure has been severely damaged, residents may face prolonged interruptions while engineers assess and repair the affected equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Energy workers are carrying out emergency repairs, but the extent of the damage means that restoring normal electricity supplies may take time in some locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukrainian authorities have introduced rolling blackouts to manage pressure on the electricity network while repairs continue. The duration and severity of the interruptions will depend on the condition of the damaged infrastructure and the progress of restoration work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Kyiv Hit by Ballistic Missiles and Drones<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, was among the principal targets of the Russian assault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukrainian officials said Russia launched 16 ballistic missiles towards Kyiv and the surrounding region. Explosions were reported during multiple waves of attacks, while air-defence systems attempted to intercept incoming weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A woman was killed in Kyiv, and several other people were injured, according to local authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The strikes also damaged a 25-storey residential building and a metro station on the eastern bank of the Dnipro River. Damage to civilian buildings and transport infrastructure highlighted the risks faced by residents during large-scale aerial attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emergency personnel responded to affected locations as authorities assessed the damage and worked to assist those injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ukrainian Air Force reported intercepting or suppressing numerous incoming aerial targets during the broader attack. However, some missiles and drones reached their targets, causing casualties and damage to critical infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Attacks Reported Across Multiple Ukrainian Regions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The assault was not limited to Kyiv.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukrainian officials reported attacks or damage across numerous regions, including Vinnytsia, Volyn, Kirovohrad, Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Zhytomyr, Khmelnytskyi, Kharkiv, Ternopil, Odesa and Rivne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The attacks affected energy facilities and other infrastructure, with local authorities reporting interruptions to electricity supplies and damage to civilian property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In some areas, power and water supplies were disrupted. Emergency services and repair crews were deployed to assess damage, respond to casualties and restore essential services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The geographical spread of the attacks demonstrates the challenges facing Ukrainian air defences, which must protect major cities, energy infrastructure and other strategic facilities across a large territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officials continue to assess the full extent of the damage, and figures may change as further information becomes available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Zelenskyy Criticises the Lack of Advance Warning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Zelenskyy expressed concern that Ukraine had not received advance warning from its international partners before the first wave of ballistic missile attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukraine has relied on intelligence-sharing arrangements with Western partners, particularly the United States, to help identify incoming missile threats and improve its ability to protect civilians and critical infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zelenskyy said the absence of an early warning before the initial attack raised serious questions about the coordination of intelligence support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukrainian Air Force spokesperson Yurii Ihnat also said that the country did not receive information ahead of the first ballistic missile strike, although information was received before a subsequent attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The circumstances surrounding the warning failure were being examined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">US Secretary of State Marco Rubio denied that Washington had suspended intelligence-sharing cooperation with Ukraine, disputing suggestions that the United States had deliberately stopped providing assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The disagreement comes amid broader tensions over military assistance, air-defence supplies and Washington&#8217;s approach to ending the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Russia Says Its Strikes Targeted Military-Related Facilities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russia&#8217;s Defence Ministry said its forces had conducted a large-scale strike using precision weapons and attack drones against Ukrainian defence-industry facilities, weapons-storage sites and a data centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, Ukrainian officials said the country&#8217;s energy infrastructure was a primary target and reported damage to residential buildings and other civilian facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest attack illustrates the continuing dispute between Moscow and Kyiv over the objectives and consequences of military operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Independent verification of every reported strike and its intended target was not immediately available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under international humanitarian law, parties to an armed conflict must distinguish between civilians and combatants and between civilian objects and military objectives. Attacks must also comply with the principles of proportionality and precautions in attack. Deliberately targeting civilians or civilian objects is prohibited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Winter Approaches as Ukraine Faces Growing Energy Challenges<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The attacks have intensified concerns about Ukraine&#8217;s ability to maintain reliable electricity and heating supplies during the coming winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Repeated damage to power-generation facilities and electricity-distribution networks has placed considerable pressure on the country&#8217;s energy system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The United Nations has previously warned that systematic attacks on electricity and heating infrastructure have disrupted essential services and increased the risks faced by civilians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A report published by the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine in June 2026 documented the consequences of attacks on energy infrastructure during the previous winter, including prolonged electricity interruptions and problems with heating, water supplies and sanitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest strikes raise the possibility of further hardship for vulnerable people, particularly older residents, families with young children, people with disabilities and patients who depend on medical equipment or regular healthcare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The scale of the humanitarian impact will depend on how quickly damaged facilities can be repaired and whether further attacks occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>International Implications<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest Russian assault comes amid continued diplomatic efforts to end the war and disagreements over international support for Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reported failure to provide advance warning of the first missile wave has added to concerns in Kyiv about the reliability of intelligence cooperation and the availability of Western air-defence systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, attacks on energy infrastructure on both sides of the conflict continue to raise concerns about civilian safety and the security of regional energy supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukraine has also conducted drone operations against Russian energy and export infrastructure, saying these attacks are intended to weaken Moscow&#8217;s ability to finance its military campaign. Russia continues to launch attacks against Ukrainian cities and infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With winter approaching, protecting energy supplies has become an increasingly urgent challenge for Ukrainian authorities and their international partners.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KYIV, UKRAINE \u2014 Russia launched a large-scale wave of ballistic missiles and drones against Ukraine overnight and into Monday morning, targeting energy infrastructure and civilian facilities across several regions.
