Russian strikes overnight from Saturday to Sunday targeted energy infrastructure in Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions, causing widespread power outages. Libération, citing authorities, reported that more than 600,000 people were affected in Dnipropetrovsk and 250,000 in Kharkiv. The supplied reporting gives no timetable for restoring electricity.
BFMTV reported more than 600,000 people without power across the two regions. Le Figaro and franceinfo said energy infrastructure in Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv was targeted overnight, after a similar attack the previous day.
The reported outage is the immediate civilian consequence of the strikes. The available excerpts do not identify the facilities hit, describe the extent of damage, or track how the outages are changing.
The reported figures do not establish how long the disruption will last. Further statements from Ukrainian authorities or the energy supplier may provide information on electricity restoration, but the sources reviewed contain no repair plan or restoration schedule.
