Overview
- Ukrainian officials reported roughly 450 attack drones and 70–71 missiles launched overnight, concentrating on energy infrastructure across at least eight regions including Kyiv and Kharkiv.
- Kyiv said 1,170 residential buildings lost heat, while Kharkiv cut heating to more than 800 buildings and drained radiators as temperatures fell to between −17°C and −23°C. The Air Force said defenses shot down 38 missiles and 412 drones, yet blasts ignited fires in high‑rises and damaged a childcare facility in the capital.
- Authorities reported at least nine people injured in the latest strikes, and Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal said hundreds of thousands were left without heating.
- The barrage followed a brief pause on energy strikes negotiated by President Donald Trump that expired around Feb. 1, after which a maternity hospital was hit in Zaporizhzhia and a bus of mine workers was attacked in Dnipropetrovsk, killing 12–15.
