- Kyiv authorities said tens of thousands of homes lost electricity and thousands of buildings are without heat during a deep freeze, with the city still recovering from earlier strikes and a provisional evacuation that saw roughly 600,000 people leave.
- European officials warned that repeated hits on substations risk power losses at nuclear facilities after Chernobyl temporarily lost external electricity, and Ukraine said a Zirkon hypersonic missile could not be intercepted and struck infrastructure in Vinnytsia.
