A Ukrainian drone strike hit a power substation electricity already Russia and left seven cities without electricity. The information was confirmed by Roman Starovoit, governor of the Kursk region, which is close to the border between Russia and Ukraine, this Tuesday, 26. “A Ukrainian drone launched an explosive device during the morning against a substation in Snagost, in the Korenevski district. Seven locations were left without electricity. […] No resident was injured,” said the governor. Furthermore, he highlighted that emergency forces are acting to restore the electricity supply. Drone attacks are part of the Ukrainian counteroffensive to liberate Russian-occupied zones. Last winter, Russia carried out attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, depriving millions of residents of heat, water and electricity. Last week, the Prime Minister of Ukraine, Denis Smygal, accused Russia of restarting the “energy terror” by attacking electrical infrastructure or fuel production and storage areas. The accusation was made shortly after the first missile attack on electrical power facilities in months, which caused a drop in supplies in several regions of Ukraine.
