Ukrainian drone strikes have caused significant disruptions to power supply in occupied Donetsk, leaving over half a million residents in the dark. According to Kremlin-backed authorities, emergency crews have made progress in restoring electricity, with power partially restored in Horlivka and parts of Donetsk and Makiivka.
The strikes have raised concerns about the ongoing conflict in the region, with both sides continuing to engage in military actions. While the Kremlin has acknowledged the restoration of power, it has not commented on the impact of the strikes on civilian infrastructure. Meanwhile, international observers are closely monitoring the situation, with calls for a de-escalation of hostilities.
Local authorities have expressed frustration over the damage caused by the strikes, which have disrupted daily life and affected critical services. Residents have reported difficulties in accessing essential supplies and services, with some areas still without power as of late Monday. The situation highlights the ongoing challenges faced by civilians in conflict zones, as they continue to bear the brunt of ongoing military operations.
