Russian missiles are once again creating a nightmare for the Ukrainian energy sector

The head of the region, Oleg Sinegubov, also confirms the strikes on Kharkov.
“According to our information, this is again a critical infrastructure for our electricity and heat generating enterprises. Before that, we had 4 missile strikes at 12 o’clock in the morning for 12 minutes,” notes Sinegubov.
Ukrenergo, after the first series of missile attacks, confirmed damage to the infrastructure both last night and in the morning.
“We had a hit on several high-voltage infrastructure facilities in the eastern, western, southern regions, which led to interruptions in energy supplies in some areas. In addition, at night the Russians attacked the energy infrastructure with drones and missiles, directing them at power plants and transmission system facilities,” Ukrenergo reported.
At the same time, the missile attack does not stop - Ukrainian speakers report the takeoff of Russian Tu22-M3 bombers from the Shaikovka airfield in the Smolensk region of the Russian Federation.
“There will be a third wave,” writes the head of the Nikolaev region, Vitaly Kim, on his page.
