Russia Launches Mass Missile-Drone Barrage on Ukraine’s Energy and Rail Network

Officials warn grid repairs could take weeks, forcing prolonged power curbs.

Overview

  • Ukraine’s Air Force reported intercepting 585 attack drones and 30 missiles during the overnight assault, while confirming strikes reached multiple sites.
  • Confirmed impacts triggered fires and infrastructure damage across regions, with at least eight people wounded and the Fastiv railway station destroyed.
  • Rail operator Ukrzaliznytsia rerouted services, set up a mobile station in Fastiv, and regional authorities said commuter schedules are planned to be restored by Monday.
  • Grid operator Ukrenergo expanded nationwide rolling outages and said stabilizing electricity supply after damaged generation and transmission will take weeks.
  • Ukraine’s General Staff confirmed strikes on Russia’s Ryazan oil refinery and an industrial target in occupied Luhansk, as the IAEA noted a brief external power loss at Zaporizhzhia NPP and Moldova requested emergency electricity from Romania.
