Russia’s strike on energy infrastructure

As a result of the attack, consumers in Odesa, Chernihiv, Kherson, Dnipropetrovsk, Kirovohrad, and Mykolaiv regions were left without power.
Earlier reports said that efforts were underway in Odesa to restore electricity, water, and heating supplies. However, the head of the regional military administration, Serhii Lysak, noted that it was still too early to make forecasts.
