Russian shelling damaged electricity distribution networks in five Ukrainian regions overnight, Ukraine’s state grid operator said on Monday.
“The night attack by drones did not damage the main energy infrastructure,” Ukrenergo said in a statement.
“However, due to Russian shelling along the frontline and border shelling, there is again damage to distribution networks in Donetsk, Kharkiv, Kherson, Sumy and Chernihiv regions.”
Ukraine’s energy system has survived months of Russian missile and drone attacks that have at times left millions without power or heating during the cold winter months.
