What happened

Russia's nationwide missile-and-drone assault on Ukrainian energy infrastructure directly struck both sections of the Dnipro Hydroelectric Power Plant. Ukrhydroenergo said two missiles hit HPP-2, damaging crane beams and a support, while HPP-1 was also hit; both stopped generating and HPP-2 was left in critical condition. A fire broke out, traffic across the dam was closed, and a civilian trolleybus on the crossing was struck. Authorities said there was no threat that the dam would breach. Ukraine's energy minister described the wider barrage — more than 150 aerial targets affecting generation and main-grid substations across twelve regions — as the largest attack on the country's energy system since the full-scale invasion began and said its objective was a nationwide blackout.
