Main targets - districts Kremenchuk, Dnipro, northern Poltava, Kyiv, Slobozhanske, as well as facilities in Kharkiv region, the frontline in Kherson and Dnipro regions, around Nizhyn and along the border between Chernihiv and Kyiv regions.
Context and implications
Analysts believe that this is one of the most massive attacks on Ukraine's critical infrastructure since the start of the full-scale invasion: a combination of a massive missile strike and a large number of drones.
Ukraine's energy and gas companies are working in a state of emergency to minimise damage to systems and ensure supply of resources in the winter.
