Russian forces struck an energy infrastructure facility in Ukraine's Poltava region with a drone, causing a power outage affecting approximately 22,000 subscribers.
Following the strike, energy workers began restoration efforts aimed at returning electricity to the affected households and businesses as quickly as possible. Repair work is currently ongoing, and it is not yet known when power will be fully restored.
Background
The Poltava region is one of several areas in Ukraine that have repeatedly come under Russian drone and missile strikes targeting energy infrastructure. Such attacks have recurred with varying intensity in recent years, causing significant disruptions to electricity supply for residents and businesses in affected areas, particularly during colder months when access to power is critical for heating.
Ukrainian authorities continue working to repair damaged energy facilities, though the recurring strikes place additional strain on a power grid already affected by previous attacks.
