I suspect we will see an increase in attacks from Iran and it's proxies (The Houthis, Hezbollah and Iraqi based militias) on energy infrastructure across the Middle East in the lead up to the US Midterms (Nov. 3rd) and the Fed Interest Rate decision (Oct. 28th).

Reports that Russia has attacked Kyiv's Northern Bridge at least twice this morning (local time). In recent minutes monitors report that the bridge may have been struck by a S8000 Banderol cruise missile. The S8000 carries a considerably larger payload versus a typical Russian Geran-type drone.

"Russia’s intercepted plan appears designed to collapse Ukraine’s already weakened grid." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/02/w...
Mr. Shmyhal, the people said, described the document as an intercepted Russian plan to cause the energy system to collapse through methodical attacks. The plan, a copy of which The New York Times obtained, describes a campaign of strikes using up to 1,000 missiles, drones and bombs. They would target a wide range of facilities, including electrical substations, hydroelectric and thermal power plants, and boiler houses.

Most alarming, the document says that Russia intends to force Ukraine’s three operating nuclear plants — the backbone of its power infrastructure — to shut down by firing missiles at the electrical switchyards that connect them to the grid. The switchyards sit less than a mile from the reactors.
