Russia carried out its largest mass attack this year on Ukraine’s energy facilities on Nov. 3, striking substations, transmission systems and power plants across 10 oblasts and leaving households nationwide without power. Ukraine said three drones targeted a substation critical to the Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plant. The report also covers a confrontation near Kyiv and ensuing investigations.
Ukrenergo said Russian forces struck Ukrainian energy facilities more than 20 times in the past 24 hours, causing significant damage. Emergency outages are affecting several regions, including Kyiv, where power problems have disrupted electric transit and prompted a temporary citywide water shutdown.
Kyiv and its surrounding region faced emergency power cuts and water disruptions after Russian strikes on critical infrastructure. The overnight attack hit energy and power-generation facilities and substations in nine Ukrainian regions. Efforts to restore Kyiv’s water supply were ongoing, with no timeline given.
