Russian forces executed a significant assault on Kremenchuk, a central city in Ukraine, overnight, according to local officials. The extent of the damage remains undetermined. Russian drone and missile strikes impacted power facilities across eight regions in Ukraine, resulting in blackouts and reduced power output from nuclear power plants, as reported by officials and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The Ukrainian military reported the launch of 653 drones and 51 missiles by Russia, with 585 drones and 30 missiles being intercepted. Targeted regions included Chernihiv, Zaporizhia, Lviv, and Dnipropetrovsk, affecting power and heat generation facilities, alongside damage to port facilities in Odesa. Ukrzaliznytsia, the Ukrainian state railway company, reported damage to a depot and railway carriages in the town of Fastiv, near Kyiv. No casualties were reported. The IAEA confirmed a temporary loss of all off-site power at Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which is under Russian control. Power was restored after a half-hour outage, though a 750-kilowatt line remains disconnected. The Russian Ministry of Defence acknowledged the attack, citing it as a response to Ukrainian assaults on civilian targets in Russia. The strike involved high-precision, long-range weapons, including Kinzhal hypersonic missiles and drones. Russia also reported the interception of 116 Ukrainian drones over its territory. Polish jets were scrambled due to Russian attacks on Ukraine, though no airspace violations were reported. The Ukrainian military conducted strikes on the Russian Ryazan oil refinery and a shell-casing manufacturing plant in Alchevsk, located in the Russian-occupied Luhansk region. Ukraine refuted Russian claims of encircling the towns of Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad in the Donetsk region, stating that logistics routes are being expanded, and key positions maintained.
