MOSCOW: More than 200,000 homes in Russian-occupied southern Ukraine were left without power following a Ukrainian army attack, the Moscow-installed authorities said Sunday.
“Following an enemy attack on the region’s energy infrastructure, a large part of the Zaporizhzhia region has been left without electricity,” Moscow-installed official Yevgeny Balitsky said on Telegram.
According to Balitsky, the attack cut power to 213,000 customers and 386 localities in the Zaporizhzhia region.
Vladimir Saldo, the Moscow-installed governor of the neighboring Kherson region, said on Saturday evening that a Ukrainian strike had hit an electrical substation, causing outages in 14 towns and 450 villages.
He later said that emergency repair work had restored power.
