Russian attacks on Ukrainian facilities activated power cuts in the west of the war-torn country, authorities said Tuesday, after Moscows newest aerial barrage.A drone hit Ternopil, a western town home to 224,000 individuals that saw a lethal strike on Monday and extensive power cuts that left thousands without electrical energy last month.
An opponent drone hit an energy infrastructure center in Ternopil.
Part of the city is without electricity, said the towns mayor, Serhiy Nadal.Western Ukraine has actually been fairly spared in the nearly three-year war, but Russia has just recently stepped up strikes on the entire countrys energy facilities, viewed as a bid to knock out essential power products through the winter season and sap Ukrainian morale.Overnight attacks also targeted the western Rivne region, said its governor, Oleksandr Koval.
