– the command of the Ukrainian Air Force reports.
As a result of combat operations, 14 Shaheds were shot down in Odesa, Mykolaiv, Kherson, Dnipro, Khmelnytskyi, Cherkasy, Vinnytsia and Rivne regions. Fighter aircraft, anti-aircraft missile units of the Air Force, mobile fire groups of the Ukrainian Defence Forces and electronic warfare units were also involved.
Missiles attacked the port infrastructure of Odesa region. As a result of active countermeasures, three enemy X-59/X-69 missiles and three attack UAVs failed to reach their targets.
The enemy also attacked a power facility in Rivne region. As a result of the attack, household and industrial consumers in certain areas of the region lost power.
“Power supply has been restored to all consumers. Emergency repair works are underway,”
– ukrenergo said.
Despite the nighttime drone attack on power facilities in western Ukraine, the schedule of outages for today should remain unchanged.
“In the regions, except for the frontline areas, of course, where consumers may be left without electricity simply because of damage to the grids due to constant shelling, the situation is the same in all other regions. And this also applies to the Western region, where just a few hours ago the Russians carried out a rather serious attack on a Ukrenergo facility. But even despite the damage that was caused, we do not plan to change the schedule in the Western region in any way,”
– said Volodymyr Kudrytskyi, Chairman of the Management Board of NPC Ukrenergo, on the We Are Ukraine TV channel.
