Overview
- The localized six‑day ceasefire around Russian‑occupied Oleshky ended after an evacuation operation concluded Sunday and buses carrying evacuees reached Ukrainian‑controlled territory via routes through Russian territory and Belarus.
- Russian officials reported a 'massive' overnight drone attack on an industrial site in Kstovo (Nizhny Novgorod), saying more than 100 drones were destroyed and the facility suffered significant damage.
- Ukraine reported strikes deep inside Russia that hit the Kamensky plant in Rostov, which Ukraine says produces solid rocket propellant, and the Ukrainian military said the attack caused fires and substantial damage.
- Russian drone and missile waves overnight targeted Ukrainian energy infrastructure across multiple regions, cutting electricity to hundreds of thousands of households and causing at least one death and dozens of injuries according to regional authorities.
- Officials on both sides reported very high UAV losses and called for stronger air defenses, while the operation and strikes have raised urgent humanitarian, protection and diplomatic concerns ahead of winter and planned talks.
