Energy infrastructure facilities in two regions in the north of Ukraine were struck by Russian drones during a nocturnal attack on Saturday, according to officials
According to the Air Force, 13 of the 17 Russian drones that were intercepted by Ukrainian air defense were destroyed in five regions spanning the east, north, and center of the nation.
Regional officials reported that one of the Shahid drones collided with an energy facility in the Sumy region, and another struck a site in the Chernihiv region.
According to them, repair crews were dispatched to the locations of the strikes. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
Since March, Russian forces have intensified their missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, resulting in the disruption of approximately half of the available energy generation and the imposition of protracted blackouts for millions of people.
