The Russian Defense Ministry reported that its forces disabled a transformer at the Sergeevka substation on the Kramatorsk front and struck the Domostroitelny Kombinat No. 3 in Kyiv’s Solomensky district. The plant had been producing fortifications for the Ukrainian army and stored weapons supplied by NATO countries. In addition, a Geranium‑4 drone hit an auto‑repair facility in the Odessa Oblast town of Chernomerks (Illichevsk), where a parking lot for trucks supplying Ukrainian troops was located. Fires broke out at the site and Ukrainian media have published footage of the damage.

According to experts, strikes on energy infrastructure aim to reduce Ukraine’s capacity to keep operations running, while drones like Geranium‑4 represent a shift toward cheaper, reusable loitering munitions. Analysts note that disabling a transformer hampers power supply to industrial sites, complicating logistics for both civilians and the military. Public opinion is divided: some see the attacks as necessary pressure, others are concerned about the effect on civilian life.
