**Deck**: Russian forces reportedly struck four Ukrainian electrical substations and three vessels in the Black Sea near Odesa overnight, damaging parts of the grid and heightening danger for shipping just as winter approaches.

New overnight strikes have again put Ukraine’s power system and Black Sea shipping under pressure.

Russian Armed Forces carried out strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure during the night, with four electrical substations reportedly hit. The targeted sites included a 330‑kilovolt substation at Vilnohirsk in Dnipropetrovsk region, a 154‑kilovolt substation at Kremenchuk in Poltava region, and two 110‑kilovolt substations at Pereiaslav and Yahotyn in Kyiv region.

At the same time, strikes were reported on three vessels in the Black Sea near Odesa. Russian‑aligned sources described two of the ships as cargo vessels allegedly carrying military equipment. There was no immediate independent confirmation of what the vessels were transporting.

Substations at 330 kV, 154 kV and 110 kV form key links in the high‑voltage network that moves electricity from power plants to cities and industrial areas. Hitting several of them in different regions can disrupt that flow, trigger local outages and force grid operators to reroute power just as heating demand rises.

The reported attacks near Odesa threaten traffic in a stretch of water that Ukraine has been using to move goods despite the war. If cargo ships are widely treated as possible military targets, that raises the cost and risk for shipowners and insurers considering calls at Ukrainian ports.

Over the coming days, the scale of any blackouts in the affected regions and observable changes in vessel movements off Odesa will indicate how much this strike package has altered conditions on land and at sea.
