Summary

Russia conducted extensive drone and missile strikes targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure, particularly around Kyiv, as winter approaches. Kyiv woke Wednesday under smoke and fog after overnight strikes damaged a key power plant and other energy infrastructure around the capital. Casualty figures differ between accounts, ranging from at least four to seven deaths, with reports noting that a child was among those killed. The strikes caused emergency power cuts in Kyiv and surrounding regions—the first such measure in the capital since spring—with electricity services disrupted across eleven regions. Ukraine's air force intercepted significant numbers of incoming projectiles, with one report citing 254 out of 285 drones intercepted. The Russian defence ministry confirmed conducting large-scale attacks, stating that the Trypilska power plant, which supplies most of Kyiv's electricity, was targeted; the facility's operator verified it sustained damage. DTEK, Ukraine's primary private energy company, restored service to 8,000 residences following the attack. Ukrainian officials characterized this as the most extensive assault on the nation's power grid since spring, part of an anticipated winter campaign pattern that has recurred annually since the 2022 full-scale invasion began.
