Air Delivered event in Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plant substation area, Ukraine on Sat 8th November 2025

In the fourth winter of Russia's war of aggression, Ukraine's energy infrastructure has already been severely damaged. Now, its resilience is being further tested by a new wave of missile strikes. Russian forces have intensified their attack, targeting thermal power plants and substations at nuclear power plants. In a major strike on the night of November 8, Russia hit the substations of the Khmelnytskyi and Rivne nuclear power plants. Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha spoke of precisely planned attacks. Both nuclear power plants had to reduce their electricity production, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported on social media platform X.
