## Summary

New details identify damage to energy systems carrying electricity from two nuclear plants to Kyiv and central Ukraine, as well as to the Northern Bridge across the Dnipro. The strikes have put the capital’s electricity, water and heating supplies under serious strain as temperatures approach zero, raising concerns about essential services.

Ukraine said Russia launched 36 ballistic missiles and 172 drones overnight; air defences intercepted four missiles and downed 149 drones. At least two people were killed and around a dozen wounded across Ukraine, with homes, businesses and other buildings damaged. Russia said it had struck military-industrial, energy and transport infrastructure. The attacks came days before planned US-backed talks in Abu Dhabi.
