KYIV, UKRAINE – Fresh Russian strikes on Saturday targeted energy infrastructure in Ukraine’s west, national energy operator Ukrenergo said, with officials in several regions reporting outages.

Russians “carried out another missile attack on energy facilities of the main networks of Ukraine’s western regions. The scale of the damage is comparable or may exceed the consequences of the attack on October 10-12,” Ukrenergo said on social media.

Russian forces rained over 80 missiles on cities across Ukraine on October 10, according to Kyiv, in apparent retaliation for an explosion that damaged a key bridge linking the Crimean peninsula to Russia.

Energy restrictions were “forcibly applied” in several regions, including the capital Kyiv and its surrounding region, Ukrenergo said.

“Ukrenergo specialists are taking all measures to restore electricity supply as soon as possible,” the operator added.

In western Ukraine, electricity and water supplies were disrupted in parts of the Volyn region, according to its governor.

Power outages were also reported in the southwestern Odessa region following “two missile strikes at the region’s energy infrastructure”, governor Maksym Marchenko said.
