Russian Forces Target 14 Key Power Substations Supporting Ukraine’s Military Industries

Russian armed forces, during their military operations in Ukraine in October 2026, targeted fourteen power substations serving Ukraine’s military industries. This operation has disrupted the energy supply to the Ukrainian armed forces. However, no further details have been released regarding the exact locations of these substations, the extent of the damage, or the precise timing of the attacks. These actions are part of Russia’s campaign to weaken Ukraine’s critical infrastructure. Ukraine’s energy infrastructure has been repeatedly targeted since the start of the war. Earlier in October, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced missile strikes on several power generation and distribution facilities around Kyiv.
