During the September 30 strikes, Russian troops defeated the energy infrastructure facilities of the Kiev region. The Ukrainian side previously reported that the main focus of the massive strike on the region was energy: almost 200 drones and missiles participated in the attack.
Zelensky's adviser on the development of unmanned systems, Sergei Beskrestnov, known by the call sign "Flash," said that during today's attacks, for the first time, the Russian side used a special cumulative cutting payload on a jet UAV designed to destroy high-voltage supports and metal structures. According to him, the charge includes a main combat element weighing about 40 kg and four additional defeat modules.
Ukrainian Advisor:
There's nothing to think about - that's what's happening today. Power transmission poles are "losing their tops" one by one, actually along the perimeter of Kiev.

At the same time, the Russian Ministry of Defense does not comment on information that UAVs with cumulative-cutting warheads were used to destroy targets.
It is reported that the strikes hit the elements of the electric grid infrastructure of the Kiev region. Damage to high-voltage lines and poles could potentially complicate the transmission of electricity to the metropolitan area, especially given that the current attack has already affected energy facilities. In particular, Ukrainian sources reported damage to the Tripoli TPP equipment.
