Electrical substations in four regions came under attack
According to the head of government Sergey Koretsky, Russian troops attacked six major electricity substations in central Ukraine overnight. The strikes targeted energy facilities in the Vinnytsia, Kirovohrad, Zhytomyr and Cherkasy regions.
In addition, damage to power lines of various voltage classes has been reported in the Kirovohrad and Rivne regions.
Such facilities are responsible for the transmission and distribution of electricity; therefore, damage to them may affect the electricity supply beyond the immediate vicinity of the strike.
The Prime Minister did not specify the exact extent of the damage or the number of customers left without power.
In Kryvyi Rih, the Russians struck a district heating company
A heating supply company was a specific target of the Russian attack in Kryvyi Rih. As a result of the strike, there were disruptions to the heat supply to residential buildings.
According to Koretsky, heating and energy workers are working to restore the heat supply. There is currently no specific timeframe for the completion of the repairs.
Local authorities had previously reported that, following a massive drone attack, part of Kryvyi Rih was left without electricity, and the water supply and sewerage systems had to be kept running using generators.
Russian strikes have damaged the railway and residential buildings
In addition to energy facilities, the Russian army has attacked railway infrastructure in the Dnipropetrovsk and Zhytomyr regions. The nature of the damage and its potential impact on train services are currently being assessed.
In the Kherson region, a school building was damaged by an aerial bomb. In Kharkiv, five blocks of flats were damaged.
According to preliminary government figures, at least 14 people were injured as a result of the overnight shelling. The injured are receiving medical treatment.
Emergency services are continuing to repair damaged energy facilities and critical infrastructure.
