In the Russian Kursk region, a morning drone attack carried out by the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) today resulted in yet another blackout in several settlements, leaving crucial Russian military facilities without electricity, as sources within the SSU told RBC-Ukraine.
According to our sources, this blackout took place as part of the "preparation" of occupant forces for the fall-winter period.
Russian military facilities were connected to the power station in the settlements of Sudzha, Lyubimovka, and Glushkovo in the Kursk region, and it was exactly this power station that was attacked by the SSU drones.
As a result, the SSU "updated" the schedule of power outages in the Kursk region, and this UAV attack left important enemy military facilities without electricity, the sources noted.

"As a result, Russian military personnel are beginning to experience the Ukrainian last year mood when there was no electricity for several days," the report states.
Explosions and blackouts in the Kursk region
Early in the morning on October 5, explosions rocked several districts of the Kursk region in Russia, and reports of drone attacks on infrastructure facilities began to appear.
Later, local authorities reported that power outages had occurred in the affected areas. It was reported that 67 settlements in the Kursk region were left without electricity.
Other blackouts in the Kursk region
This is not the first blackout in the Kursk region caused by the Security Service of Ukraine. The previous one occurred on September 29, and before that, on September 26.
At that time, power stations that supplied important Russian military facilities were targeted. In total, the SSU has organized 7 such attacks on enemy infrastructure.
On September 29, the SSU drone strike on the Russian Kursk region also destroyed the radio-location radar station Kasta, which identifies air targets at extremely low altitudes.
RBC-Ukraine sources within the SSU revealed that drones had struck the Russian Triumph (S-400) near Belgorod the previous night. The cost of such an air defense system is $1.2 billion.
