In a significant escalation of attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, Russia launched a comprehensive missile and drone assault overnight, targeting several thermal and hydroelectric power plants across central and western Ukraine. Ukrainian air defenses managed to shoot down 84 out of 99 aerial targets, including 58 of 60 Shahed drones and 26 of 39 missiles, in an operation costing Russia approximately $120,000,000. Despite the successful interception of many threats, the attacks caused severe damage to at least three DTEK thermal power plants, including the Dnipro HPP, and attempted to strike the Kaniv and Dniester hydroelectric power plants. A power engineer was wounded in the attacks. The Ukrainian Air Force reported that this latest offensive marks a continued focus on crippling Ukraine's energy sector. The attacks come in the wake of previous assaults that have already inflicted significant damage on the country's power infrastructure, with officials and President Volodymyr Zelensky highlighting the ecological and economic ramifications of these strikes.
