Summary
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, local officials, and various reports claim that Russian forces used drones to strike an energy facility on the outskirts of Kharkiv on October 12, 2026, resulting in 12 people injured and damage to the facility. Reports also indicate that a high-rise building in Kharkiv was damaged during the strikes. While Ukrainian officials characterize these actions as a continuation of attacks on energy infrastructure in Kyiv and Kharkiv despite a purported energy ceasefire, European Union diplomat Kaja Kallas has expressed skepticism regarding the claims, and the occurrence of the incident remains disputed.
