Overview

• Ukrainian officials said 35 missiles, including ballistic weapons, struck Naftogaz sites in Kharkiv and Poltava, causing critical damage and forcing private energy provider DTEK to halt some operations.
• Ukraine’s air force reported a nationwide assault involving 381 drones and 35 missiles targeting energy infrastructure, with repair crews working to restore power in Sumy and Chernihiv regions.
• Kyiv extended its deep-strike campaign into Russia, with drones hitting the Azot chemical plant in Perm Krai and the Orsk oil refinery in Orenburg, while Moscow claimed to have downed 20 Ukrainian drones.
• Vladimir Putin said any U.S. supply of Tomahawk cruise missiles would mark a new stage of escalation, as U.S. media reported approved intelligence sharing on long-range energy targets and noted Tomahawks are unlikely due to inventory commitments.
• European states confronted spillover risks as Munich Airport briefly shut after drone sightings, EU leaders backed a regional anti-drone “wall,” and Danish intelligence cited provocative Russian naval actions and GPS jamming in the Baltic Sea.
