Ukraine faces power outages after ëmassiveí Russian strikes target energy facilities – 24 Oct 2022
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian-appointed authorities in the occupied Ukrainian city of Kherson say power is currently being partially restored following what they have called a Ukrainian “terrorist attack” on power lines.
The southern city was cut off from power and water supplies on Sunday after three power lines were damaged in the region that Moscow illegally annexed in September. Ukrainian officials have not responded to the allegations, although officials have previously claimed that Russia was deliberately turning off the power in order to force civilians to evacuate in anticipation of a Ukrainian counteroffensive to retake the city.
Rolling blackouts around Ukraine continued on Monday.
