At least four major Ukrainian energy facilities sustained massive shelling early on February 3, 2026, coinciding with temperatures of -20 degrees Celsius, as reported by INSIDER UA in a post during the 59-minute window from 5:15:15 AM to 6:15:08 AM UTC. The attacks occurred amid ongoing Russian missile activity targeting energy infrastructure including Trypillia TPP. INSIDER UA stated the shelling hit the facilities today, exacerbating heating challenges in the severe cold. This follows Russian cruise missiles heading towards Trypillia TPP in Kyiv region, Vinnytsia, Kirovohrad, and other sites during the prior window from 4:45:15 AM to 5:15:08 AM UTC, according to monitors Андрій Смолій and 'Стратегічна авіація рф' on Telegram. The energy strikes align with detections of six Kalibr missiles towards Vinnytsia and Kh-101 missiles towards Obukhiv/Trypillia, plus groups targeting Holovanivsk in Kirovohrad and Ladyzhyn in Vinnytsia, as specified by the monitors. Earlier waves included missiles towards Pyryatyn and Sumy region strikes, per 'Стратегічна авіація рф' and Ukraine's intelligence service. This barrage builds on previous Russian UAV movements from Kryvyi Rih towards Kirovohrad and activity in multiple regions, reported by monitor kimhvik2, with no immediate damage assessments from Ukrainian officials in the current window.
