Electrical service was disrupted for more than 212,000 Ukrainian residents Wednesday following Russian strikes on two power plants in the northern Chernihiv region, according to the area’s electricity distribution company.<\/p>

The regional utility Chernihivoblenergo reported that approximately 150,000 customers in Chernihiv city and nearby areas lost electricity when Russian forces struck a power plant in the Chernihiv district.<\/p>

A second assault on electrical infrastructure in the Nizhynskyi district left an additional 62,000 residents across three other districts without power, the company announced.<\/p>

Ukrainian air defense forces reported intercepting or disabling 121 of the 147 drones that Russia deployed against the nation during overnight operations.<\/p>

Energy infrastructure has remained a primary target for Russian forces throughout the ongoing conflict, resulting in widespread blackouts lasting multiple hours across Ukraine. Ukrainian forces have responded by striking Russian energy assets, including petroleum refineries, storage facilities and transportation hubs.<\/p>

The Chernihiv area experienced severe power disruptions during winter months as Russia intensified its largest aerial bombardment campaign against Ukraine’s electrical system since the war began four years ago.<\/p>

Power outages affected much of the region following another assault this past Saturday.<\/p>

Morning strikes also temporarily cut electricity to nearly 21,000 people in Slavutych, a town located in the adjacent Kyiv region, according to the area’s governor posting on Telegram.<\/p>

Essential infrastructure has been transferred to emergency power sources, the governor noted.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
