Overview

  • Ukrainian air forces reported 465 drones and 32 missiles launched in the latest wave targeting energy infrastructure, with 405 drones and 15 missiles intercepted.
  • Kyiv’s left bank lost electricity and water and metro service was halted; DTEK said power was restored for at least 678,000 customers Friday and for more than 800,000 in the capital by Saturday.
  • Fresh overnight attacks cut electricity in parts of the Odesa region, where authorities said repairs were underway and DTEK reported service restored to over 240,000 homes.
  • DTEK reported severe damage to thermal plants, and earlier strikes left an estimated 60% of gas production capacity out of service, heightening winter supply risks.
  • President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke by phone with President Donald Trump to seek more air-defense support and said poor weather reduced interception capacity by 20–30%, as officials confirmed a 7-year-old was killed in Zaporizhzhia.
