Five people lost their lives Tuesday when Russian forces launched an aerial assault on Ukrainian gas infrastructure facilities, according to the head of Ukraine’s national energy company.
The strike targeted production sites belonging to state-owned Naftogaz in the Poltava and Kharkiv regions, resulting in the deaths of three company workers and two emergency responders, CEO Serhiy Koretskyi reported.
The attack caused substantial damage to the facilities and halted gas production operations, Koretskyi stated. An additional 37 individuals sustained injuries in the bombardment.
