Russian forces launched a massive attack on the energy infrastructure in two Ukrainian regions on the night of March 15, causing significant damage to energy facilities, according to DTEK (Ukraine's largest private energy company).
"At night, the enemy once again struck the energy sector. This time in the Dnipropetrovsk and Odesa regions," the statement said.
As a result of the Russian attack, some residents in the Dnipropetrovsk and Odesa regions lost power. DTEK reports severe damage to the targeted energy facilities.
"The damage is significant. Energy workers are already on-site. We're doing everything possible to restore power to homes as soon as possible," DTEK added.
Night attack on Ukraine
On the night of March 15, Russia launched 178 drones at Ukraine and attacked with two Iskander-M ballistic missiles. Ukrainian air defense forces shot down 130 drones, while 38 enemy decoy drones were lost in the air (without causing damage).
It is known that the occupiers hit a residential building in Chernihiv. Sumy and the Kharkiv region were also under attack.
Ukrzaliznytsia (Ukrainian Railways) reported that Russian forces targeted its energy infrastructure in the Dnipropetrovsk region and Zaporizhzhia.
Additionally, the Russian army struck the Odesa region twice during the night, targeting Chornomorsk and Odesa, leaving two people injured. The attacks caused blackouts and disruptions in water and gas supply in Chornomorsk, but the situation has already stabilized.
