The attack comes as Ukraine’s energy system remains vulnerable ahead of colder weather and follows a broader escalation in strikes against critical infrastructure. Ukrainian officials said the bombardment targeted power facilities around Kyiv and elsewhere, while international reporting described widespread missile and drone activity. The strikes add pressure to Ukraine’s electricity supply and civilian population amid the continuing war, with damage assessments and casualty figures still developing.
