Over the past week, Russian forces have launched seven group strikes with high-precision weapons and attack drones, causing damage to Ukrainian military airfield infrastructure, ammunition depots, production facilities, storage warehouses, and control points for attack drones, boat basing locations, as well as temporary deployment sites.
Ukrainian Energy Minister German Galushchenko confirmed that Russia launched another large-scale attack on Ukraine’s energy system overnight.
“The energy and gas infrastructure in various regions of Ukraine is again under massive missile and drone attacks,” he wrote, mentioning that rescuers workers and energy sector personnel are working at the sites of the strikes to address the aftermath.
He added that all necessary measures are being taken to stabilize energy and gas supplies. Previously, a critical industrial facility in the western Ternopil region was hit, with the region possibly facing restrictions on gas supply.
Earlier in the day, the Ukrainian Air Force reported that Russian forces had launched several groups of combat drones, along with cruise and ballistic missiles at Ukraine.
