Russia struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure 76 times during a truce declared by the United States, according to Euromaidan Press, an outlet covering the Russia-Ukraine war.

The outlet reports that tens of thousands of people lost electricity overnight. Civilians were both killed and injured in the attacks.

Substations go down again

Substations in the center, west and south of Ukraine have again gone offline. Repair crews are working around the clock to restore power.

The source gives no further detail on the number of casualties, the specific facilities damaged or the terms of the truce, so those points are not covered here.
