The Russian military attacked energy facilities of Ukraine’s
state-owned Naftogaz company in Poltava and Sumy oblasts, the company said on March 20.
Naftogaz reported damage from drone strikes and said a fire at one facility was quickly extinguished.
“There was damage done; thanks to the professional actions of Ukraine's State Emergency Service and company specialists, the fire at one facility was quickly put out,” Naftogaz CEO Sergii Koretskyi said.
“Equipment operations have been halted; a full damage assessment is underway.”
The company said staff were in shelters at the time of the
attack and there were no injuries. Naftogaz said this was the more than 30th
targeted Russian attack on its infrastructure since the start of the year.
