In the early hours of November 4, 2026, the armed forces of Russia launched attacks on several regions of Ukraine, focusing primarily on energy infrastructure facilities in the western part of the country. According to available data, strikes were recorded in the Rivne and Ternopil regions, as well as in Dnipro and Kyiv. The attacks damaged civil infrastructure and private residential buildings, leaving several people injured. The situation in a number of cities remains tense: emergency power outages and water supply disruptions are being introduced, and electric public transport has been halted in the capital.
Rivne: Explosions in Pre-Dawn Hours and Fire in Private House
Around 04:00, explosions rocked Rivne as air defense systems engaged. Local head Oleksandr Koval reported that the adversary attempted to strike the region's energy infrastructure. As a result of the attack, a private residential house caught fire in the Rivne district. At the time of publication, no reports of casualties among residents had been received, but emergency services were operating at the scene.
Ternopil Region: Energy Infrastructure Facility Hit
In the Ternopil district, unmanned aerial vehicles struck an energy infrastructure facility. All specialized services are working around the clock at the incident site to eliminate the aftermath of the attack. The scale of the damage and the timeframe for restoring power supply in this area were not specified at the time of publication.
Dnipro: Two Men Injured by Shrapnel and Fire at Enterprise
The Russian military struck an industrial enterprise in Dnipro. As a result of the attack, two men aged 38 and 57 sustained shrapnel wounds. Both victims were hospitalized in moderate condition. A fire broke out on the enterprise's territory, which also required the deployment of fire and rescue units.
Kyiv: Emergency Outages, Water Disruptions, and Halting of Electric Transport
The most complex situation developed in the capital. Due to damage to the regional energy hub, emergency power outages were introduced in Kyiv, and water supply disruptions began. Heating centers have been opened for residents in the most affected areas of the city. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko described the situation as "extremely difficult." On the evening of November 4, due to a shortage of electricity, the movement of trams and trolleybuses in the city was completely stopped.
Context: Aftermath of November 3 Strikes in Kovel
Previously, on November 3, after a hit on an infrastructure facility in Kovel, most of the city was left without electricity. The local water utility was forced to switch to backup power, which indicates the systemic nature of damage to energy and municipal infrastructure in the western regions. The combination of strikes on November 3–4 points to a targeted attack on the energy framework of the western and central parts of Ukraine.
