Part of Vinnytsia Oblast loses power after Russian attack

A Russian attack has hit an energy facility in Vinnytsia Oblast, a region in central Ukraine, causing an emergency power cutoff in one of its districts. The report by the outlet Ukrainska Pravda cites Nataliia Zabolotna, head of the Vinnytsia Oblast Military Administration. Such administrations are regional authorities that manage security and everyday matters in Ukraine under wartime conditions.

What the official said

Zabolotna said the aggressor continues to attack the region's energy facilities. She stated that there were no casualties. The official did not name the district affected by the outage or say how many consumers are without electricity.

Recovery efforts

According to Zabolotna, the strike on the energy facility led to the emergency shutdown of power supply. Rescuers and energy workers are dealing with the consequences of the shelling and working to restore electricity. No timeframe for restoring power was given in the report.

The incident is another attack on Ukrainian energy infrastructure reported by officials during the war. Available information is limited: it is not known what type of facility was damaged or what weapons were used in the attack. More details may emerge when regional authorities issue further statements.
