The head of the Dnipropetrovsk region, Sergei Lysak, reported the destruction of a facility in the region’s capital, sharing the update on his Telegram channel. He described a situation of damage at an industrial site and noted that a fire broke out, which rescue crews had already contained.
Lysak added that Nikopol came under attack overnight, resulting in damage to a gas pipeline and a power line. The overnight threats and the damage prompted immediate responses from local emergency services and utilities to secure affected infrastructure and protect nearby communities.
In Kiev, overnight air raid alarms were in effect for several hours. Officials described the overnight strike as a significant blow to the capital, outlining a sequence of events that led to the disruption of critical services and the need for rapid civil defense measures. Local authorities stressed that the security situation remained volatile and that residents should stay informed via official channels.
Security briefings indicate that Sumy and Chernihiv regions also experienced extended alarm periods, with authorities confirming that residents faced ongoing precautions during the night. The information comes from official statements released by Ukraine’s digital government authorities, which monitor events across the country and coordinate protective actions for civilians and critical infrastructure.
Since October of the previous year, the Russian Armed Forces have consistently targeted military facilities and energy infrastructure across Ukraine. In recent statements, the Russian leadership has framed these actions as responses to alleged attacks attributed to Kyiv and its allies, including an assertion about the Crimean Bridge incident as a trigger for the current campaign. These assertions are disputed by Ukrainian authorities, who maintain that the strikes aim to degrade Ukraine’s civilian and defense capabilities. Attribution and context for these events continue to be the subject of ongoing government and independent reporting, with regular updates issued by official Ukrainian sources and international monitoring groups.
