Russian milbloggers report several Geran-5 drones struck a 330 kV substation in Zhitomir Oblast, triggering a city-wide blackout and degrading electricity and water supply to Kyiv, which draws transit power through the same node. The strikes mark continued operational use of the Geran-5 jet-engine variant against high-value electrical infrastructure, distinct from the piston-engined Geran-4 examined intact by Ukrainian journalists earlier this week.
