35 killed in strikes on Ukraine's Donetsk region as Russia reports four dead across Belgorod

Ukraine claims Russia has a winter attack plan targeting 60 critical infrastructure sites with up to 1,000 missiles, drones, and bombs. According to an intercepted document presented by Ukraine's Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal to The New York Times, Russia aims to cripple energy infrastructure including electrical substations, hydroelectric and thermal power plants, and boiler houses.

The document, dated August, reportedly lists priorities such as substations near Ukraine's western border, hydroelectric plants, and potential strikes on three operational nuclear power plants. The attack strategy also includes water supply and sewage systems, which analysts suggest could threaten civilians' basic living conditions and divert resources from defense.

While the document's authenticity remains unverified, Ukraine's defense-industrial sector has acknowledged it as a calculated rather than finalized military operations plan.
