Summary

On October 12, 2026, Russian forces carried out a drone strike targeting energy equipment in Kharkiv, Donetsk, and Zaporizhzhia, as well as gas stations and other facilities. The attacks, which resulted in 33 people injured, caused power cuts in Kharkiv and blackouts in Izyum. Surveillance footage from the Kharkiv Prosecutor's Office shows vehicles on a street during an explosion, though the Kremlin has not confirmed the strikes. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that six energy facilities were hit, characterizing the action as a rejection of a proposed energy ceasefire. Accounts differ regarding the scope of the damage, with some reports noting additional impacts in Kyiv.
