Power Struggles: Ukrainian Drone Attack Leaves Zaporizhzhia in Darkness
A Ukrainian drone attack knocked out power in parts of Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region, under Russian control. The Russian-appointed governor blamed 'enemy terrorist drone' strikes. As repair crews worked amid ongoing danger, previous attacks disrupted power for 700,000 residents. The region's nuclear plant remained unaffected, operating normally for safety systems.
A Ukrainian drone attack caused significant power outages in the Zaporizhzhia region, according to local Russian-appointed officials. The attack targeted high-voltage equipment, leading to blackouts in areas under Russian control.
Repair efforts were underway, though they faced challenges from the potential of further strikes and the prevailing darkness. Previously, Ukrainian assaults in June had disrupted electricity for about 700,000 residents in the region.
Despite the outages elsewhere, the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station continued to function unaffected, ensuring safety protocols were maintained. A wider context reveals ongoing deadly hostilities, including artillery attacks in surrounding regions, as conflict persists between Ukrainian and Russian forces.
