Fresh Russian strikes on Ukraine's energy system have cut power in several regions of the country, Ukrainska Pravda and LB.ua reported on Sunday.
In Zhytomyr Oblast, west of Kyiv, the attacks left more than 650 towns and villages without electricity, Ukrainska Pravda reported, citing the regional military administration. Power workers are trying to restore supply, and no one was hurt there, the outlet said.
Kyiv Oblast came under Russian drone attack for the second day in a row, Ukrainska Pravda reported. Damage was recorded in six districts, the outlet said. In the Obukhiv district, a woman was hurt in the shoulder and was in shock. She was taken to a hospital. A store, an energy site and three cars were also damaged there.
Energy sites were also hit in the Brovary and Bucha districts, and homes were damaged in several other districts, Ukrainska Pravda said. Kyiv brought in emergency power cuts on Sunday because of the ongoing attacks on the energy system, the outlet reported.
In Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, in the east, nearly 100,000 customers in the Dnipro, Pavlohrad and Samar districts were without power on Sunday morning, LB.ua reported. The outlet cited the head of the regional military administration, Oleksandr Hanzha.
Power workers had just restored electricity to almost all customers who lost it in earlier attacks, Hanzha said, according to LB.ua. But overnight, Russian drones struck five districts of the region more than 10 times, causing new outages. More than 70 repair crews are working to bring power back, LB.ua said.
Water service in the city of Dnipro has been fully restored, Hanzha said, LB.ua reported.
