According to Ukrainian information, the Russian army attacked the capital Kiev as well as several regions in the east, south and west of the country on Thursday night. The Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant was disconnected from the electricity grid.
In Kiev, there were explosions in a neighborhood in the south of the capital, Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported in online networks. Rescue workers are on their way.
“15 Attacks on Kharkov”
Governor Oleg Sinegubov reported from the Kharkiv region of eastern Ukraine: “The enemy carried out about 15 attacks on the city and the region.” The attacks apparently targeted important infrastructure. “According to initial information, a private home was also hit,” explains Sinegubov.
The Kharkiv city administration, for its part, spoke of attacks on the “energy infrastructure”. In some parts of the city there are “problems” with the power supply.
Rocket attacks on regional energy infrastructure
In the Odessa region of southern Ukraine, Governor Maksym Marchenko reported that “missile attacks hit regional energy infrastructure and damaged residential buildings.” “Luckily there were no fatalities,” he added. Two people were injured, according to rescuers.
Russian attacks were also reported from western Ukraine. In the Khmelnytskyi region, people were urged to “seek shelter”.
Zaporizhia NPP disconnected from the power grid
According to the Ukrainian operator, the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant was cut off from the regular power supply. The factory in the Russian-occupied southern city of Enerhodar is currently being supplied with emergency diesel generators. The fuel is enough for ten days. It is the sixth time since the start of the Russian offensive war, more than a year ago, that the nuclear power plant has had to go into emergency operation. Ukrainian Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko spoke on Facebook of a “barbaric, massive attack” by the Russians.
