On the evening of March 14, Russian forces launched another drone attack on Ukraine, targeting energy infrastructure in Sumy and the Odesa region, according to the Telegram channel of Sumyoblenergo and Odesa regional governor Oleh Kiper.

"Dear electricity consumers! If you have lost power, it is due to an enemy drone attack on the city of Sumy. For security reasons, we are not disclosing details or consequences to avoid aiding the Russian army in adjusting its actions. However, we are working intensively to restore power distribution to every home," the statement read.

Sumyoblenergo urged Ukrainians to maintain information silence and refrain from sharing photos, videos, or any other data online that could help the enemy adjust its strikes or assess the state of the energy system.

Meanwhile, Oleh Kiper informed that the city of Chornomorsk in the Odesa region has been completely left without electricity due to the Russian attack.

"Due to the strike and damage to the energy infrastructure, the city of Chornomorsk has been fully de-energized. Points of invincibility are being rapidly deployed. All relevant services are working on the restoration," he wrote at 11:02 p.m. Kyiv time.

Yesterday morning it became known that part of the Kherson community was left without power due to a massive Russian shelling. Specifically, six districts were left without electricity.
