Overview
- Overnight attacks on the capital injured one person and knocked out services, leaving 5,635 apartment blocks without heat and much of the left bank without water as metro service was curtailed.
- Ukraine’s General Staff reported 165 combat engagements over the past day, citing two missile and 91 air strikes and the use of 7,518 attack drones, and it listed cumulative Russian personnel losses at about 1,228,570, including 1,130 in the last 24 hours.
- The hottest sectors were the Pokrovsk and Huliaipole directions, while a Joint Forces spokesman said Russian troops are trying to take Lyman in a half‑encirclement but have not succeeded, with the Siverskyi Donets River hindering armor.
- The government is strengthening civilian support by rolling out longer‑endurance Points of Resilience able to operate for more than 48 hours, with 10,676 sites active nationwide and round‑the‑clock access in Kyiv during the energy emergency.
- Interior officials said differentiated air‑raid alerts now cover nearly all of Ukraine and cut warning transmission to 8–15 seconds, while the head of parliament’s energy committee forecast a tough 30 days and said any link between the ‘Mindichgate’ probe and outages is possible but limited.
