Ukraine has initiated tests of new target interception systems in space, marking a significant expansion of its conflict with Russia. Meanwhile, the country faces a severe energy crisis, with the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant experiencing its 16th blackout this year, now relying solely on diesel generators. Energy provider DTEK has announced emergency power outages, indicating that previously published schedules are no longer in effect.
Russian forces launched extensive missile and drone attacks across Ukraine, with air defenses intercepting 137 out of 164 drones. These attacks left over 600,000 consumers without electricity in the Dnipropetrovsk region and caused one fatality and damage in Odesa. Additionally, reports indicate Russian troops are constructing underground tunnels and launching a hybrid offensive in the Kherson region.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has strongly condemned the alleged misconduct of high-ranking Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) officials, calling their actions 'absolutely unacceptable' amidst ongoing corruption probes. In other news, a Ukrainian paratrooper shared his harrowing 131-day survival story near Pokrovsk, and Andriy Klimenko, a Hero of Ukraine and new commander of a legendary unit, gave his first interview detailing operations and significant enemy losses.
