Russian forces attacked an infrastructure facility in Chernihiv overnight on October 4, causing a fire, according to the State Emergency Service of Ukraine on Telegram.
"Overnight, Russian forces struck an infrastructure facility in the city of Chernihiv. Rescue teams are currently responding to the aftermath of the enemy attack. The situation is under control by the relevant services," the rescuers stated.
It was also reported that around 50,000 residents were left without electricity due to the enemy strike, and emergency power outage schedules are in effect across the region.
Russians strike energy facilities
As a reminder, multiple enemy attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure have left consumers without power in several regions. The most severe situation remains in Sumy and Chernihiv regions.
In particular, following Russia’s massive strikes on critical infrastructure, Chernihivoblenergo reported that the region’s energy system remains in a critical state. As a result, strict power outage schedules have been in effect in the region since October 1.
Overnight on October 4, the Russian army again attacked the energy system in Chernihiv region, damaging several key electricity facilities. Energy workers have already begun restoration efforts.
