Russians attack energy infrastructure in eight regions overnight
Russian forces have been striking energy infrastructure in eight regions since last night.
In the early hours of the morning, Russian forces carried out coordinated attacks on critical energy infrastructure across eight Ukrainian regions, leaving thousands without power, according to NPC Ukrenergo. The assailants targeted facilities in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Sumy, Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk, Vinnytsia, Cherkasy, and Kirovohrad. The ensuing power outages were reported in Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Kyiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv regions.
Emergency repair crews are working to restore service wherever conditions allow. Ukrenergo also revealed that, due to the damage to energy equipment, electricity capacity restrictions for industrial consumers and hourly power outages affecting two to four consumer groups will continue in certain regions until the end of the day.
Around 150,000 consumers were left without electricity following an accident at a power supply facility in Chernihiv, Slavutych, and the Koriukivka and Chernihiv districts.
