Overview
- Russian missile and drone attacks overnight on Sunday damaged Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and left hundreds of thousands of households without power in Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk and Zhytomyr regions.
- Ukrainian forces launched long‑range drone strikes on Russian industrial and fuel sites in Ufa and Nizhni Novgorod and reported hits on a Kamensk defense plant and Russian air‑defense assets in Rostov.
- Moscow’s defense ministry said its air defenses shot down hundreds of Ukrainian drones during the raids, with regional governors reporting civilian casualties inside border areas such as Klimovo in Bryansk.
- A narrowly limited humanitarian pause in Oleshki, brokered by the United States and the Holy See, allowed aid deliveries and the evacuation or relocation of civilians including 167 people from Kherson’s right bank.
- The escalation is heightening civilian hardship from power and fuel shortages, increasing pressure on mediators to secure continued corridors, and leaving key claims about damage and interception totals reliant on party statements that are not independently verified.
