Russia carried out the largest attack on Ukrainian energy infrastructure since spring. The main targets were the capital Kyiv and surrounding areas. The scale of the attack was reported by Ukrainian Prime Minister Serhiy Korecky. BBC World ↗
The attack came before the start of winter, when energy infrastructure is especially important for the functioning of cities and the supply of the population. Available information does not provide the exact number of facilities affected, the extent of the damage, or any possible casualties.
Analyses cited in connection with the attack note that Russia may be pursuing a broader intention to cripple Kyiv ahead of winter. The goal is said to be inducing fear among residents, worsening social tension, and destabilizing the political situation in Ukraine. Onet Wiadomosci ↗
According to available data, the attack was concentrated primarily on the capital and its surroundings. The information provided does not speak of other affected regions, including the Kharkiv or Dnipropetrovsk regions. It is likewise unclear whether the attack is connected to a specific plan attributed to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Ukrainian authorities will need to assess the damage to energy facilities and prepare measures to ensure supplies during the winter. Further developments will depend on the extent of the damage and the country's ability to restore the damaged infrastructure.
