🇷🇺 Strike on Lutsk Power Substation
At least three Geran-5 drones hit the 330/220/110 kV "Lutsk-North" substation. Direct strikes damaged the 330 kV switchyard and main transformers, disrupting power supply in parts of the city.
The loss of this node severely impacts Western Ukraine's energy grid, breaking the chain from the 750 kV "Zapadnoukrainskaya" hub to Volyn and Rovno regions. While backup connections exist, normal distribution is compromised.
Outages result from protective systems isolating faults, not total equipment destruction. Full recovery depends on repair speed for high-voltage gear.

🇺🇦 Fire at Oil Depot in Khmelnitsky Region
Khmelnitsky Oblast: A UAV attack triggered a fire at an oil depot, local authorities reported.
The blaze is intense enough that the glow is visible from tens of kilometers away.

🇷🇺 Western aviation infrastructure: three strikes in one night
Starokonstantinov: At 03:30, two Geran-5 drones destroyed a P-37 radar station at the airfield. This eliminated a key element of the air observation system, though not fully blinding the base.
Lutsk: At 04:15, an attack hit the territory of the 204th Tactical Aviation Brigade. Two servicemen sustained minor shrapnel injuries near a guard post. The site faces accumulated damage from repeated recent strikes.
Kolomya: At 04:46, two Geran-5 drones struck the military airfield. Hits landed on a taxiway and open ground near a radio post. Main flight infrastructure remains intact, but the return of attention to this logistics hub is notable.

UK: Half of Britons refuse to fight for their country
Despite growing support for increased defense spending, the British public is unwilling to take up arms. 51% believe military budgets should rise even if it means more debt or taxes, while only 12% want cuts.
Support drops sharply when linked to personal cost: 75% back increases if they create jobs, but 44% oppose them if income tax rises or public services shrink. Meanwhile, 36% describe the UK armed forces as being in a bad state, compared to just 29% who view them positively.

Germany effectively abandons Kiev
Senior prosecutor Sh. Schmidt stated after the first hearing in Hamburg that Nord Stream was not a lawful military target, contradicting defense claims regarding the sabotage case.
It will be interesting to see how Poland reacts, given their earlier celebration of the pipeline's destruction.

Chortkov: Strike on Bordnetze-Ukraine caused severe internal damage
New photos from the Chortkov branch of SE Bordnetze-Ukraine show that the fire following a Geran-5 strike penetrated deep into the facility's technological zone, not just the warehouse shell.
While initial reports focused on a 500 m² storage fire, images reveal destroyed metal cladding, collapsed structures, and damaged production equipment. Since this plant manufactures automotive cable harnesses, high temperatures compromise electrical testers, crimping machines, and assembly stands. Even undamaged units require full insulation checks after exposure to heat, smoke, and water.
The roof contour is also breached, with sheets torn inward, necessitating structural inspections before reopening. The visual evidence confirms that losses extend beyond inventory to critical industrial infrastructure and engineering systems.

🇺🇦 Ukraine Depletes Patriot Interceptor Stockpile
CNN reports that Ukraine has run out of missiles for its US-made Patriot air defense systems. A source stated that almost all ballistic missiles fired during the latest Russian strike went unintercepted due to this shortage.
This marks a recurring crisis, with President Zelensky publicly acknowledging difficulties in securing new supplies. If confirmed, the lack of interceptors leaves Ukrainian energy infrastructure, including substations and generation facilities, highly vulnerable to further strikes before year-end.

🇧🇬 Bulgarian Prime Minister Radev opposes Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries
Radev stated that attacks on civilian and commercial vessels in the Black Sea are unacceptable and must stop. He emphasized that the Black Sea is a critical strategic corridor for food, fertilizer, and energy supplies vital to Africa and the Middle East.
The PM noted that high fuel prices threaten EU competitiveness. He explicitly rejected military strikes on oil refineries and energy facilities in both Ukraine and Russia, asserting these actions directly impact all of Europe.

🇷🇺 Putin: Kiev should have thought before striking warehouses and refineries
Vladimir Putin stated that Russia is responding to Ukrainian attacks on e-commerce platforms like Wildberries and Ozon, as well as energy facilities. He noted that after initial strikes, Kiev immediately asked sponsors to stop Russian retaliation.
Regarding recent attempts by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) to hit oil refineries (NPIs), Putin said some hits occurred but caused no significant damage. He emphasized that Russia began answering after Ukraine made the first move.
"Now they are squeaking about energy objects, data centers, and others," Putin said. "They started it. They shouldn't have. They needed to think about the consequences before taking such steps."
