On the night of November 26, Russian forces attacked an energy infrastructure facility in the Ternopil region. As a result, 70% of the region was cut off from electricity, according to the head of the Ternopil Regional Military Administration, Viacheslav Negoda, during a briefing.
According to Negoda, the energy facility supplied electricity to almost the entire region.
“Initially, 70% of the coverage area was cut off. By the beginning of the working day, Ternopiloblenergo and other technical services did everything to connect to other systems that pass through our region and most of the power supply was restored,” he added.
