Kyiv, November 1, 2025 – Russian missile strikes on Ukraine reached their highest level in two and a half years this October, marking a severe escalation in the ongoing conflict. According to defence officials, the month recorded a sharp spike in long-range missile and drone attacks targeting key infrastructure, energy facilities, and urban centres. The surge has renewed concerns over Ukraine’s air-defence capabilities as winter approaches, raising fears of large-scale power outages similar to those witnessed last year.
Ukrainian authorities said the intensified strikes reflect Moscow’s renewed strategy to weaken civilian morale and cripple essential services ahead of harsh weather conditions. International allies have condemned the escalation, with calls for urgent support to bolster Ukraine’s air-defence systems. Analysts warn that the rising frequency of such attacks could signal a prolonged and more aggressive phase of the war.
