The company says the enemy has attacked energy infrastructure in the oblast again. According to its statement, consumers in the Kremenets district were once more left without power today following another attack on the oblast's energy infrastructure.

What is known about the impact

The report does not say how many consumers are affected, which facility was damaged, or how long it may take to restore supply. It also gives no information on casualties. What it does establish is that this is not the first such attack on Ternopil Oblast's energy sector and that power has been cut in the Kremenets district.

Attacks on energy infrastructure in Ukraine cause electricity outages for residents. In Ternopil Oblast, this is confirmed by the distribution company's own statement about a repeated strike.
