Russia’s drone swarm damages Poltava energy infrastructure
Russia launched a mass overnight drone attack on Poltava Oblast, damaging an energy-sector enterprise, regional governor Volodymyr Kohut reported on Aug. 27.
Authorities recorded direct hits and debris from downed drones in the Poltava district.
Fire broke out on the enterprise’s grounds; an administrative building, vehicles, and equipment were damaged in the attack. The blaze has been contained, resulting in no casualties.
Kohut reported temporary outages for household and commercial customers, but power supply has already been restored.
Overnight, Ukraine’s Air Force reported drones heading toward Poltava Oblast, the regional administration said air defense operated in the area.
On the night of Aug. 27, the enemy attacked Sumy with Shahed drones. The city was partially left without electricity, and an infrastructure facility was damaged.
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.
