🔴 BREAKING: Russia Launches Massive Overnight Attack on Ukraine — Key Events on Day 1,382
Kyiv — December 7, 2025:
Ukraine has been hit by one of the largest coordinated drone-missile attacks of the war as Russia unleashed a devastating overnight barrage targeting critical energy, transport, and nuclear-linked infrastructure. The assault marks a major escalation on Day 1,382 of the Russia–Ukraine war.
🔥 Hundreds of Drones and Missiles Launched in Overnight Strike
According to Ukrainian authorities, Russian forces launched a massive wave of drones and missiles across multiple regions from late Saturday into early Sunday.
-
653 drones launched
-
51 missiles fired
-
Ukraine reports downing 585 drones and 30 missiles
The attack hit power stations, heating facilities, rail hubs, and port infrastructure, triggering widespread blackouts as winter conditions worsen.
⚡ Power Grid and Nuclear Facilities Impacted
Energy officials say several regions, including Chernihiv, Zaporizhzhia, Lviv, Dnipropetrovsk, and Odesa, suffered severe damage.
Multiple nuclear plants temporarily reduced output due to the strikes, and safety concerns have risen after damage was reported at nuclear-related sites — including protective structures.
🚆 Rail Hub Near Kyiv Damaged
A major railway depot in Fastiv, southwest of Kyiv, was struck, damaging carriages and disrupting rail traffic. Authorities report no immediate casualties, but transport delays are expected nationwide.
🎯 Ukraine Strikes Back
Ukrainian forces say they carried out retaliatory strikes, hitting:
-
The Ryazan Oil Refinery inside Russia
-
A shell-casing production plant in occupied Alchevsk
Meanwhile, Kyiv strongly denies Russian claims that Ukrainian troops were encircled in the towns of Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad, saying supply routes remain open and defensive lines are holding.
🕊 Diplomacy Push Continues Despite Escalation
Even as missiles rained down, Ukraine continued diplomatic efforts:

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a high-level call with U.S. envoys
-
Talks focused on the next steps toward possible peace negotiations
-
Preparations are underway for Zelenskyy’s upcoming meetings in London with European leaders
The juxtaposition of intense attacks and active diplomacy highlights the volatile and uncertain path toward a potential settlement.
⚠ What This Means for Day 1,382
This latest barrage underscores:
-
Russia’s renewed focus on energy warfare
-
Heightened risks to nuclear safety
-
Increasing pressure on Ukraine’s winter resilience
-
A widening gap between frontline realities and diplomatic momentum
