Russian attack leaves large parts of Dnipro and Kamianske without power

A Russian attack has damaged critical energy infrastructure in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, leaving large parts of the cities of Dnipro and Kamianske without electricity. Critical infrastructure facilities were also affected. The information came from DTEK, the largest private energy company in Ukraine.

The company said its power engineers are working to restore supplies. DTEK did not say how long the outages might last.

Earlier context

Oleksandr Hanzha, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Military Administration, had previously reported that electricity supplies were being gradually restored after earlier Russian attacks. The latest strike therefore hits a region where recovery from previous damage was still under way.

The source gives no information on casualties or the precise extent of the damage.
