What happened
On July 2, 2026, Russian forces launched massive attacks using missiles and drones against Ukraine, hitting Kyiv, the Kyiv region, Chernihiv, and Dnipro regions. These strikes damaged over 100 residential buildings and civilian businesses. Subsequent attacks, including one on September 22, 2026, caused widespread power outages and damaged businesses in Dnipro and Chernihiv.
Why it matters
The continued targeting of critical infrastructure and civilian businesses in regions like Dnipro and Chernihiv puts increasing pressure on Ukraine's resources. Strikes have also destroyed critical locations for the Ukrainian military, disrupting logistics and resupply efforts.
