Ukrainian forces attacked the Sukhodolnaya pumping station of the Kuibyshev–Lysychansk oil pipeline in Russia's Rostov Oblast last night, according to satellite imagery confirmed by zarGEOINT. The attack, which appears to have hit two facilities at coordinates 49.66589, 40.99464, occurred sometime before the current reporting window. Separately, local authorities in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region issued a warning for residents of several villages to remain indoors from 8:00 PM UTC until further notice, with no reason provided, as reported by Maks_NAFO_FELLA. This latest development follows a period of heightened activity and warnings across Ukraine. Earlier today, between 5:07 PM and 6:06 PM UTC, the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant experienced a blackout due to a voltage jump impacting its new safe confinement, following Russian attacks on energy infrastructure in the Kyiv region, specifically near Slavutych. The Ministry of Energy confirmed "hostile firing" of energy objects in Slavutych as the cause, with specialists working to restore power. This incident occurred amidst broader air raid alerts and drone activity reported across Ukraine. In preceding hours, power outages were reported in Dnipro and Zaporizhzhia following a flash, with air raid alerts issued for multiple regions. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) had also warned on October 1st, 2025, that the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant was at risk due to a fuel shortage for its backup generators, possessing only 10 days of fuel and operating without main external power. Poland had scrambled six F-16 fighter jets in response to potential drone activity near its borders.
