A Russian strike on energy infrastructure in western Ukraine on Thursday left more than 1 million people without power, according to local officials.
Electricity was knocked out for more than 500,000 households in the Lviv region due to the attack, according to regional Gov. Maksym Kozytskyi. Rivne Gov. Oleksandr Koval said the strike also cut off power for more than 280,000 households in the region, The Associated Press reported.
“The Commander of the Air Force, along with the Ministers of Internal Affairs and Energy, provided reports regarding the aftermath of the latest Russian strike targeting our energy infrastructure,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote on the social platform X early Thursday.
“In total, approximately 100 strike drones and over 90 missiles of various types were launched,” he continued. “Several regions reported Kalibr missile strikes with cluster munitions, deliberately aimed at civilian infrastructure.”
