According to Koretskyi, energy infrastructure was the primary target of the strikes, while medical facilities, logistics infrastructure, and residential buildings also came under attack.
“Last night, Russia once again targeted our energy infrastructure. The main targets were high-voltage substations. Damage and destruction have been recorded in nine regions. Energy workers are already working to restore electricity to people as quickly as possible,” Koretskyi wrote on Telegram.

The latest strikes followed another wave of Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure just two days earlier.
On November 11, Russian forces targeted six major electrical substations across the country, damaging power transmission infrastructure and disrupting heating supplies, according to Koretskyi.
The attacks affected substations in the Vinnytsia, Kirovohrad, Zhytomyr, and Cherkasy regions, while power transmission lines operating at different voltage levels were also damaged in the Kirovohrad and Rivne regions.
In addition to electricity infrastructure, Russian forces struck a district heating facility in Kryvyi Rih, causing interruptions to heating supplies in residential buildings.
The November 13 attacks also resulted in civilian casualties, with overnight and early morning strikes across several Ukrainian regions killing at least five people and injuring 18 others, including children.
Residential buildings and other civilian infrastructure sustained damage, while a medical facility in Kyiv was also hit during the attacks.
