Russia launches largest strike on Ukraine energy grid since spring, 11 regions hit

Overnight, Russia conducted its most extensive attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure since spring, striking 11 regions and targeting residential buildings and railways, per the Ukrainian PM. The scale and geographic spread mark a significant escalation in attacks on civilian infrastructure, though the full extent of damage and impact on the grid remains unclear. This could signal a renewed Russian strategy to degrade Ukraine's energy resilience ahead of winter.
