On the night of November 3, 2026, Russia launched a massive missile and drone strike across Ukraine, deploying ballistic and cruise missiles alongside attack UAVs. Dnipro, Kharkiv, and several other settlements came under fire. Following the attacks, the Russian Ministry of Defense published its own list of allegedly targeted sites, focusing primarily on energy infrastructure and port facilities, according to RBC-Ukraine, citing the Russian military department. ### What the Russian Defense Ministry Claimed According to the Russian agency, high-precision ground- and air-launched weapons, as well as strike drones, were used in the attack. The claimed targets included energy infrastructure facilities in the Vinnytsia, Dnipropetrovsk, and Kharkiv regions, as well as port infrastructure in the Odesa region. The Russian side presented this data as a report on the results of the nighttime operation. ### Energy Facilities on the Target List In the Vinnytsia region, the Russian department reported hitting the 1,800 MW Ladyzhyn Thermal Power Plant. In the Kharkiv region, it claimed to have attacked the 86 MW Kharkiv Thermal Power Plant, along with two 330 kV electrical substations: Zmiivska and Losevo. Thus, the declared list encompasses both generating capacities and distribution grid facilities. ### Port Infrastructure of the Odesa Region Separately, the Russian Defense Ministry reported strikes on port infrastructure in the Odesa region, specifically targeting facilities at the Port of Kiliya. Furthermore, the Russian side claimed to have hit two bulk carriers in the Port of Yuzhne and the waters of the Black Sea. These statements cover both coastal port infrastructure and maritime assets. ### Impact of the Strikes on Settlements In Dnipro, the attack damaged a hospital, a residential area, and a police department, leaving casualties. In Kharkiv, a medical facility was struck, with reports indicating that at least 73 people were injured. The consequences of the nighttime attack were also recorded in the Vinnytsia, Zhytomyr, Khmelnytskyi, Rivne, and Odesa regions. ### Context: The Nature of the Strike Wave As noted by the industry publication Neftegaz, although individual damaged power plants and substations had previously been targeted, such a massive wave directed specifically at energy facilities was, by its assessment, carried out for the first time. This highlights the scale of the November 3 nighttime operation and its concentration on Ukraine's energy and port infrastructure. ## Fact-Check & Sources - [Минобороны РФ цинично отчиталось об ударах по ТЭС и ТЭЦ Украины](https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/minoboroni-rf-tsinichno-vidzvituvalo-udari-1793690070.html) - Primary source: list of claimed targets, TPP/CHP capacities, substations, ports, casualties in Dnipro and Kharkiv. - [ТЭЦ, ТЭС, ПС.
