Russian forces have sustained a campaign of long-range missile and drone strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure and the Kyiv region in early November 2026, including a November 6–7 barrage of 36 ballistic missiles that damaged substations linking nuclear plants to the capital, the Northern Bridge across the Dnipro, and facilities in multiple oblasts. Additional strikes on November 9 targeted energy sites in Kyiv Oblast amid broader attacks that injured dozens and triggered power disruptions as winter approaches. These actions coincide with preparations for U.S.-brokered trilateral talks scheduled for mid-November in Abu Dhabi, where Ukrainian officials have described the intensified pressure on infrastructure as an effort to influence negotiations. Trader assessments of near-term targeting probabilities reflect this established pattern of strikes on military-industrial, transport, and power targets in and around Kyiv, alongside Ukrainian counterstrikes on Russian energy assets and ongoing diplomatic maneuvering.
