Railways, ports and power facilities struck in multi-region attack; service disruptions and utility outages reported.
Ukrainian infrastructure came under heavy fire overnight as Russian drones and missiles struck transport and energy targets across the country, officials reported Saturday.
A significant railway hub in Fastiv, southwest of Kyiv, sustained direct hits which damaged the depot and multiple railcars, according to the state railway company Ukrzaliznytsia. No casualties were reported at the site, but the damage forced the cancellation of suburban train services near the capital and in the Chernihiv region.
The attack formed part of a broader offensive against utility and logistics networks. Ukraine’s ministry for communities and territories confirmed that power and heating plants in Chernihiv, Zaporizhzhia, Lviv, and Dnipropetrovsk regions were also targeted.
The southern Odesa region faced particularly severe disruptions, with thousands of households cut off from heat and water supplies. Port infrastructure there was partially knocked offline, requiring a switch to emergency generator power.
The strikes reflect a continued Russian campaign aimed at crippling Ukraine’s energy grid and transport links, intensifying pressure on the country as winter approaches.
