October 2025 in brief
A Russian strike on energy facilities on 10 October left more than 700,000 Kyiv households without power, the energy company DTEK said, the first of three large-scale October strikes on energy that HRMMU said caused emergency outages in most regions. [1] HRMMU recorded 148 civilians killed and 929 injured in October, and IOM put the number of internally displaced people in government-controlled areas at 3,700,000. [1][2][3] Drones set fire to two marked UN aid trucks in Bilozerka, Kherson region, on 14 October, an attack the UN Humanitarian Coordinator attributed to Russia's armed forces, and officials said an overnight attack on 22 October killed six people in Kyiv and its region, including two children. [1][2] Repairs to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant's power lines began on 18 October under local ceasefire zones, the IAEA said. [1] Vladimir Putin said in late October that Ukrainian forces in Pokrovsk and Kupiansk were encircled, which Ukraine's commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrskyi denied. [1] Donald Trump announced a summit with Putin in Budapest after a call on 16 October, but it was shelved five days later, and on 22 October the US sanctioned Rosneft and Lukoil, its first new Russia sanctions since Trump took office. [1][2] Drone sightings closed Munich airport on 2 and 3 October, and Poland detained eight people on 21 October, three of them linked to a plot to send incendiary parcels to Ukraine, according to the Leiden dataset.
