Story summary

As of November 5, 2026, Ukraine and Russia have exchanged hundreds of drone attacks overnight, impacting critical infrastructure in both countries. Russia targeted a Nova Poshta logistics hub outside Kharkiv, which it claims was used by Ukrainian military to assemble drones, as well as power substations in the Dnipropetrovsk region and a cargo ship in the Black Sea near Odesa. Ukraine reported that Russian strikes damaged nine regions' energy infrastructure, including power substations in Kyiv and Zhytomyr, causing widespread power outages. In response, Ukrainian drones set off fires in an industrial zone in Ryazan, Russia. The Russian Defence Ministry used 128 attack drones and two Kh-35 missiles during the assault, while Ukraine's air force managed to intercept or neutralize 105 of these drones but reported impacts at 18 locations.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
