A Russian drone has cut down a unique power line tower over the Dnipro River in Kyiv, Ukraine's capital. According to Euromaidan Press, the tower cannot be rebuilt, and countries around the world are already queuing for additional power equipment.
Ukrenergo, Ukraine's grid operator, which runs the country's high-voltage transmission network, has already started work on workarounds that would let the grid function without the lost structure. The company describes drones that cut down towers as a new challenge.
The source gives no further details about how the attack unfolded, the tower's specifications or the effect on power supply, so those questions remain open.
