​Russia’s ‌armed forces ​struck three ⁠power substations across ‌Ukraine overnight ‌on ‌Monday (November 9, 2026) ⁠and also ⁠hit a cargo ship ​in ‌the Black Sea that ‌Moscow said ​was providing arms to ⁠Ukraine, state ‌news agencies reported.

Russian attacks on ​energy facilities over the ‌past 24 hours left ​some ⁠consumers without electricity in 12 Ukrainian regions, Deputy ‌Energy Minister Artem Nekrasov said.

The affected ‌regions ⁠are Vinnytsia, ⁠Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Zhytomyr, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Odesa, Poltava, Rivne, ​Kharkiv, Khmelnytskyi ‌and Chernihiv.

“Due to significant damage, the situation remains most difficult ‌in the Dnipropetrovsk ​and Kyiv regions,” Nekrasov said.

The Mnistry said Russia had deliberately attacked ‌Ukraine’s energy and oil and gas sectors 128 times over the past week. ‌It added that a total ​of 219 incidents had been ⁠recorded that damaged or ⁠destroyed energy and oil and ‌gas infrastructure.
