A blackout hits the Russian city of Belgorod after an attack on the Luch power substation late on Oct. 5, according to regional Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov.
The city’s power grid was damaged.
Photos and videos circulating on Russian Telegram channels show parts of Belgorod plunged into darkness after a series of powerful explosions.
The Russian Defense Ministry claimed that air defenses destroyed 12 drones over Belgorod Oblast after an air raid alert was declared at 9:31 p.m. EET.
A similar incident occurred on Sept. 28, when parts of Belgorod were left without electricity and water.
