The strikes targeted power facilities and infrastructure across Kyiv and surrounding areas, according to reporting citing Ukrainian officials. The escalation threatens electricity and heating supplies as winter approaches and represents a significant intensification of Russia’s campaign against Ukraine’s energy system. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the attacks killed civilians, while international reporting described the assault as the heaviest combined attack on energy sites in months. The scale and timing raise immediate concerns about civilian safety, critical infrastructure resilience and a broader escalation of the war.
