On Oct. 20 Ukraine’s Energy Ministry said Russian forces struck energy infrastructure overnight into the morning, hitting Kirovohrad, Zhytomyr, Lviv, Odesa, Rivne, Ternopil and Khmelnytskyi oblasts and causing partial power outages. Some supply has been restored and repairs are underway. The ministry said Russia is continuing systematic, targeted attacks on energy facilities and that supply remains precarious in frontline and border areas. Repair work has been hindered by frequent air‑raid alerts and the risk of repeat strikes; grid operations are constrained and planned outages are being implemented to preserve system stability. Russia had no immediate comment.
