Did Russia launch its largest attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure since spring in September 2026?

Yes. On September 30, 2026, Ukrainian Prime Minister Serhiy Koretskyi said Russia had carried out the largest mass combined attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure since the end of the previous heating season, primarily targeting Kyiv and the surrounding region.

Officials reported strikes across 11 regions overnight, with casualties including a child in the Kyiv region, and power disruptions affecting thousands of homes. Ukraine’s energy firm DTEK said electricity had been restored to about 8,000 homes after a difficult night in the capital. Russia’s defence ministry said targets included the Trypilska thermal power plant near Kyiv; the plant’s operator confirmed damage.
