On Wednesday night, a major drone strike targeted an energy infrastructure facility in Kharkiv, leaving approximately 30,000 residents without electricity. The attack, which occurred in the early hours, primarily affected the Kholodnohirsky district. Local authorities reported that the incident has disrupted the power supply for a significant portion of the population.
The strike highlights the ongoing challenges faced by Ukraine’s energy sector in the face of continuous Russian military operations. With limited resources and infrastructure damage, the region continues to struggle with maintaining stable energy distribution. Ukrainian energy officials have called for increased international support to bolster the country’s energy resilience.
Residents in the affected area have been advised to prepare for potential prolonged power outages and to use alternative heating methods. Emergency services are working to restore the electricity supply as quickly as possible, but the scale of the damage has raised concerns about the long-term implications for the region’s energy security.
