Kyiv (Brussels Morning Newspaper) – According to Ukrainian authorities on Sunday, nearly 60,000 people lost power following Russia’s overnight air strike on the Zaporizhzhia frontline region of Ukraine, and two individuals were killed in the southern Odesa region, Reuters reported.
As winter approaches, reports from the West indicate Russia has intensified missile and drone attacks on Ukraine’s power infrastructure, causing outages and prompting Kyiv’s emergency teams to quickly repair damage and handle rolling blackouts.
How did russian strikes impact Zaporizhzhia’s power supply?
The attack on Zaporizhzhia left two people wounded and reduced buildings to rubble, the regional governor, Ivan Federov, said on Telegram.
“Crews will restore power as soon as the security situation allows,”
Fedorov said and posted nighttime photos of installations with facades and windows torn off.
Zaporizhzhia faces almost daily Russian artillery, missile, and drone attacks that have damaged homes, disrupted utilities, and caused numerous casualties, as Moscow pressures Ukraine’s defenses and hampers connections between the south and other parts of the country.
Fedorov reported that the overnight attack wounded two individuals. Additionally, Russia’s 800 strikes on 18 settlements in the region resulted in one death and three injuries over the 24-hour period into Sunday morning, he stated.
What damage did the overnight assault cause in Odesa?
Ukraine’s state emergency service announced on Telegram that two individuals died following Russia’s overnight drone attack on Odesa, located on Ukraine’s Black Sea coast.
The death toll from a Russian airstrike that ignited a shop in the Dnipropetrovsk region on Saturday has increased to four, including two boys aged 11 and 14, according to the region’s acting governor.
How is Ukraine’s counterstrike on Russian energy infrastructure going?
On the other hand, a Ukrainian drone attack overnight damaged and set fire to a tanker and infrastructure at a major oil terminal in Tuapse, a key Black Sea port in Russia, according to
