Russian drone strikes damaged an energy facility and injured two guards in Chernivtsi Oblast, regional governor Ruslan Osypenko reported on Oct. 27.
Emergency utility crews mobilized immediately to contain the damage and restore grid stability.
"As of 02:15 a.m., electrical power supply was fully restored to all consumers who were left without electricity due to damage at the energy facility," Osypenko reported.
The governor added that around 3:00 a.m., Russian forces launched a follow-up attack against Bukovyna utilizing another strike drone. Ukrainian Air Defense units intercepted and neutralized the loitering munition over an open rural area within Dnistrovskyi Raion, preventing further casualties or structural destruction.
Overnight into Oct. 27, Ukrainian Air Force repelled a massive combined Russian air raid, intercepting 255 out of 280 Shahed-type and decoy strike drones launched across the country.
Air defense formations specifically destroyed 56 of 69 high-speed turbojet-powered strike drones, alongside shooting down two Iskander-M/S-400 ballistic missiles. Air Force Command did not disclose the total aggregate quantity of ballistic missiles fired during the nighttime offensive.
Russian ballistic and drone strikes inflicted severe structural damage on a student dormitory and an academic building of the State University of Trade and Economics near Lisova metro station. The raid also scored direct hits on Kyiv's strategic Pivdennyi (South) Bridge — halting Green Line subway traffic across the Dnipro River — and damaged an administrative complex in the historic Podil district.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
