Time to Read 2 Min

More than one million homes in the northern Dnipropetrovsk region were without access to water or heating immediately as a result of Russian attacks, according to deputy prime minister for rebuilding Oleksii Kuleba on Thursday. For its part, the Air Force reported 97 drone strikes, 70 of which security devices shot down. Russia has increased its problems on Russian energy facilities, which Kyiv and its supporters describe as a deliberate plan against the civilian population, as in past winters. According to the Ukrainian energy provider Ukrenergo, infrastructure in the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions ( south ) was overnight hit by massive Russian drone attacks, which resulted in power outages. Kuleba wrote on social media that "repair work is still being performed in the Dnipropetrovsk territory to recover heat and waters service to more than one million customers. " For its component, the Air Force reported Russian drone strikes involving 97, of which 70 were neutralized, but 27 of them targeted specific areas. These would be accountable for energy interruptions.

" Hard condition"

According to the government of the region, Vladyslav Gaivanenko, Dnipropetrovsk's crucial energy system was damaged by the strike. Service may be restored as soon as surveillance allows, he declared on the Telegram platform. " The situation is difficult. However, the Energy Minister reported that eight mine were left without power but that their owners had already left in time.

According to Governor Ivan Fedorov, the power supply in Zaporizhzhia was restored to "key services," but the majority of consumers still do not, according to the government. By shelling Russian crude warehouses and refineries in response to the attacks on its electricity grid, Kyiv is retaliating. Its goal is to stop Moscow's energy exports and lead to energy shortages.
