Russia’s Overnight Barrage Damages Energy Sites North of Kyiv, Cuts Power for Tens of Thousands

Ukraine reports 109 drones plus three Iskander missiles launched, with 73 drones intercepted.

Overview

  • Tschernihivoblenergo reported an emergency shutdown after strikes damaged several energy facilities in the Chernihiv region.
  • About 50,000 people were affected by the outage as the utility worked to stabilize the grid.
  • Power will be available only intermittently for hours during repair operations, the regional provider said.
  • Ukraine’s military said impacts were recorded in 21 locations across the country during the overnight attack.
  • Russian forces say they target military sites, yet civilian infrastructure is frequently hit, while Ukrainian drones have increasingly struck Russian oil facilities with far smaller overall damage.
