Attacked By Russian Missiles, Power Outages Occur In 5 Ukrainian Regions

JAKARTA - Emergency power outages occurred in five Ukrainian regions including the Russian-controlled Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) and the Zaporozhye (Zaporizhia) region.

The airstrikes throughout Ukraine previously sounded and there was an explosion in the Kiev, Poltava, Khmelnytskyi, and Kharkov (Kharkiv) regions.

"Emergency electricity supply was imposed in the areas of Kharkov, Sumy, Poltava, Donetsk (Ukraine territory), Dneproposkes ([Dnipropospesk), Zaporozhye (Ukraine territory), and Kirovograd (Kirovohrad)," said the operator of Ukraine's power grid, Ukrenergo, via Telegram reported by ANTARA from Sputnik-OANA, Saturday, February 1.

Russian armed forces began attacking Ukraine's infrastructure on October 10, 2022, two days after the bomb attack on the Crimean Bridge, which Russian authorities believe was carried out by the Ukrainian security service.

The attack targeted energy, defense, military administration facilities and communications facilities throughout the region.
