- Energy sites were primary targets across multiple regions, prompting nationwide rolling outages and repairs, with 9,500 households in Odesa without heat and 34,000 without water.
- The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant briefly lost all off‑site power before reconnection, the IAEA said, noting the facility remains shut down but requires stable electricity for cooling.
- A drone strike burned down the main railway station in Fastiv near Kyiv, disrupting suburban services, while Ukraine reported at least eight people injured nationwide.
