- On Wednesday, Russia launched its most extensive combined attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure since the heating season ended, involving nearly 190 drones and ballistic missiles across 11 regions.

- Koretskyi instructed local authorities to verify backup power readiness at critical facilities immediately, as strikes damaged energy infrastructure in Kyiv, Odesa, and Izmail while destroying a house in Vyshhorod.
- Among neighboring nations, a drone entered Moldova's airspace, exploding near Hirbovet, while NATO members Poland and Romania scrambled military jets; flights at Polish airports Lublin and Rzeszow were temporarily suspended.
- President Volodymyr Zelenskiy thanked allies for recent air defense deliveries while urging increased protection before winter, as Ukraine faces critical shortages of interceptors for ballistic missiles.
