In a significant escalation of attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, Russian forces targeted the Dnipro Dam in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine's largest hydroelectric power station, with 8 missiles. The attack, part of a larger missile barrage against Ukrainian energy facilities, resulted in a fire at the Dnipro Hydroelectric Station (DniproHES) but did not breach the dam, according to Ukrhydroenergo. Traffic across the dam was halted, and a trolleybus hit by a missile resulted in one person killed. The strikes also led to major blackouts in Zaporizhzhia and Dnipro cities and put the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, Europe's largest nuclear facility, at risk of a shutdown. Ukrainian authorities reported that the dam is stable, but the Hydroelectric Power Station-2 is in a critical condition, losing a third of its generation capacity. Oil products have leaked into the Dnipro river. This assault is described as the most extensive attack on Ukrainian energy infrastructure in recent times.
