- Energy facilities and residential areas were hit in Kyiv, Kharkiv and other regions, with 1,170 apartment buildings in the capital reported without heating during severe cold.
- Ukraine reported downing most of 521 aerial targets but confirmed strikes at 27 locations, as officials highlighted shortages of interceptor missiles across key systems.
- The assault ended a short pause on energy attacks linked to a request by U.S. President Donald Trump, with the renewed bombardment coming just before talks in Abu Dhabi.
