Overview
- Ukraine’s air force reported 458 drones and 45 missiles were launched overnight and said most were intercepted, including more than 400 drones and nine missiles.
- Authorities confirmed at least four deaths, including three in Dnipro and one in Kharkiv, and reported power cuts, water and heating outages, and fires from falling debris in multiple regions including Kyiv.
- Emergency outages and infrastructure damage disrupted rail operations, with officials citing delays after strikes on locomotive depots and energy sites from Kharkiv to Odessa and Kremenchuk.
- Moscow said it hit military‑industrial targets along with gas and energy facilities, while Ukrainian ministers described destruction of essential infrastructure that affects daily civilian life.
- The offensive coincides with heavy pressure on the Donetsk front around Pokrovsk, which analysts say could fall in the coming days, and with warnings that winter electricity shortfalls may exceed a quarter of demand.
