Russian Forces Strike Energy Infrastructure in Eight Ukrainian Regions Overnight

By Maya Wilson

Russian forces have struck energy infrastructure in eight Ukrainian regions since last night, Ukrinform reported, in an overnight attack focused on the country’s power system.

The strikes targeted energy facilities across eight regions, according to Ukrinform, Ukraine’s national news agency. The dispatch did not name the regions affected.

The attacks form part of Russia’s continued targeting of Ukrainian energy infrastructure, which has repeatedly disrupted electricity supplies and strained the grid as the country heads into winter. Energy facilities have been a central focus of the overnight strikes, the report said.

Ukrinform reported the strikes as part of its overnight coverage of the attacks. Further details on the scale of the damage and the impact on power supplies were not included in the dispatch.

Reporting based on Ukrinform dispatches; this story will be updated as further confirmation arrives.
