KYIV: Russian strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure cut power to hundreds of thousands of homes in the Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions, authorities and an energy provider said on Sunday.
Ukraine is bracing for another harsh winter of war as Russia steps up daily aerial barrages, targeting the power network with drones and missiles.
In the central Dnipropetrovsk region, “more than 600,000 residents of the region have been left without power”, power company DTEK said on Telegram after a “night attack has damaged important energy facilities”.
It said the company was working to restore electricity, but the task was “complicated by repeated attacks”.
