Strike Overview: Over 150 Missiles And 2,000 Drones Have Targeted Ukraine's Energy System Since Early October

Russia and Ukraine exchanged strikes on the night of November 16. According to a statement by the Russian Ministry of Defense, Russian air defense systems destroyed 57 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles over several regions. Meanwhile, data from the Ukrainian Air Force indicate that Russian forces employed one ballistic missile and 176 attack drones, of which 139 were shot down or suppressed.

According to information from Ukrenergo, Russia launched more than 150 missiles and over 2,000 drones at Ukraine’s energy infrastructure in October and early November alone. The targets include facilities for electricity generation, transmission, and distribution, as well as gas infrastructure. Experts offer pessimistic forecasts, citing the current shortage of generating capacity, constant damage, and limited resource reserves. As a result, the electricity deficit and regular rolling blackouts could persist until the spring of 2026.

On the night of November 16, Russian strikes targeted objects in six regions of Ukraine, focusing on military, defense industrial, and energy assets. In the Kharkiv region, gas infrastructure was attacked: in Chuhuiv and Lymanovka, a major fire broke out at a gas compressor station.



In the Odesa region, in Starokozache, a substation and a solar power plant were damaged, leading to power outages in the Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi district.

In the Dnipropetrovsk region, strikes were recorded in Pavlohrad and Synelnykove; in the Chernihiv region — in Bakhmach, where damage to an energy facility left parts of the Koriukivka district without power. In the Sumy region, impacts on military infrastructure in the city of Sumy were reported.



For their part, Ukrainian strikes concentrated on facilities of Russia’s fuel and energy complex. The largest numbers of UAVs were shot down over the Samara (23) and Volgograd (17) regions, indicating the main axes of the attack. The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces claimed successful strikes on the Novokuibyshevsk oil refinery in the Samara region, where a fire was recorded. Additionally, according to Ukrainian monitoring data, the Volgograd oil refinery and a substation in Samara were also attacked. By some estimates, up to 35% of Ukrainian strikes in October targeted Russia’s energy system.



The exchange of strikes on November 15-16 demonstrates that Russia possesses powerful air defense systems that successfully shoot down most Ukrainian drones; however, attacks on Russian regions continue, inflicting damage on energy and industrial infrastructure. In turn, Ukraine faces serious challenges in restoring its internal energy systems, raising concerns about a protracted energy crisis.

why does suhail hassan have to live with rami makhlouf in the villa and shooting drones with a rifle?

is it normal for supposedly militarily capable russia that they can’t even protect their elite quarters with their air defenses?

no. russia and iran have no air defenses and when a democrat is in the white house russia will have to evacuate moscow to yakutsk. there’s been a water shortage in tehran and they’re going to put the shah in charge soon. by the way, when bin salman recognizes israel as a state, the saudis will become smart enough to expel those jewish whores, the bin salmans, to russia or republika srpska to milorad dodik. and yet another putler ally will be fired.

i demand that the south front find that bashar al-assad and ask him why he imprisoned suhail al-hassan and why he killed luna al-shibl. they should also ask maher al-assad if putler recruited him into his army as an instructor to teach his recruits drinking, and whether drinking is a compulsory or optional subject?

but i do believe that the story about luna shibl and the armored car or tank that crashed into her car is as stupid as the ones written by la fontaine and samuel johnson. i was a brave young student in my last year of high school. i had a red renault 5. the patria tank came to the field to show the agility of the tank and encourage us to go to the army. i was bet that neither an armored car nor a tank could scratch or damage my renault 5 because it is too agile. after three hours i won the bet.

Sandra

even the houthis, who are barefoot and half-naked, are capable of this, but what about the russians, who are supposed to be a nuclear superpower?
