(3) Kyiv Mayor Vitaly Klitschko stated that at least 16 people were injured in Kyiv, and water supply was disrupted in the eastern part of the capital. Local authorities stated that 6 people were injured in the Black Sea city of Odessa, and buildings and infrastructure were damaged. (4) Although both Moscow and Kyiv expressed their welcome for a potential energy ceasefire, both sides made it clear that no agreement had been reached to stop the attacks.

The plant, which aims to supply fuel to Moscow and the surrounding area, has been a frequent target of Ukrainian drone attacks, most recently in late August.
