Ukrainian strikes disrupted power and heating to two major Russian cities near the Ukrainian border, local Russian officials reported Sunday.
According to The Associated Press, the report comes as Russia and Ukraine have traded almost daily assaults on each other’s energy infrastructure while U.S.-led diplomatic efforts to end the nearly four-year war remain stalled.
Ukraine’s top diplomat accused Moscow of deliberately endangering nuclear safety after Russia’s mass drone and missile attack on Friday struck substations powering two nuclear plants.
A drone strike temporarily caused blackouts and heating loss in parts of Voronezh, regional Gov. Alexander Gusev said. He reported that several drones were electronically jammed during the night, sparking a fire at a local utility facility that was quickly extinguished. Russian and Ukrainian news channels claimed the strike targeted a thermal power plant.
