Russia hits no Ukrainian energy sites Tuesday as other missile and drone strikes continue

Russia struck no Ukrainian energy targets overnight into Tuesday, 13 October — the first such night since US President Donald Trump’s weekend announcement of an “energy ceasefire” — while continuing ballistic-missile and drone attacks on cities’ transport and logistics, Reuters reported from Kyiv.

What happened overnight

• Russia’s defence ministry daily summary made no mention of Ukrainian energy facilities. A Kremlin spokesman would only say contacts on an energy ceasefire were “ongoing.”
• One missile landed just over a kilometre from a plant that heats much of western Lviv.
• Ukrainian officials said four people were killed and at least 11 injured in a residential building in Kharkiv; a hospital was damaged in Khmelnytskyi; cargo and transport sites were hit in Mykolaiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions.
• The air force said damage was recorded at 17 locations; air defence downed 88 of 108 Russian drones. Six ballistic missiles hit the Kyiv area late Monday without prior US surveillance warnings Ukraine usually receives, the air force said — a claim that raised online concern; Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said Kyiv still receives US intelligence.

Ceasefire context

Trump announced the energy truce two days after a US deal easing sanctions on Russian diesel exports. Zelenskiy said Ukraine had not hit Russian refineries for two days, while Russia struck six Ukrainian energy sites on Monday. Moscow has not confirmed joining any ceasefire. Zelenskiy has said Ukraine supports an energy truce but will “respond” this winter if Russia does not agree.
