Head of the regional military administration, Sergey Lysak, announced in a Telegram channel that an energy facility was damaged in the Nikopol district of the Dnipropetrovsk region in Ukraine.
According to him, more than three thousand subscribers in Nikopol and over 6.4 thousand in the district were left without electricity. He noted that the power supply in the area was allegedly restored.
On March 23, the head of the Dnipropetrovsk regional council, Nikolay Lukashuk, stated that in Nikopol, infrastructure facilities and power transmission lines were damaged as a result of explosions.
Early in the morning on March 22, Russian military forces launched massive missile strikes on energy infrastructure facilities in various cities in Ukraine. The Russian Ministry of Defense referred to these attacks as “retaliatory strikes.”
Russian military forces began targeting Ukrainian infrastructure since October 2022, shortly after the explosion on the Crimean Bridge. Since then, air raid sirens have been regularly announced in various regions of Ukraine, often across the entire country. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the attacks target objects in the energy sector, defense industry, military command, and communication.
Earlier, the State Duma referred to the strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure as retaliation for Belgorod.
