Russian forces hit an energy facility in Ukraine’s Odesa Oblast overnight into March 7, marking the fourth consecutive night of attacks on the region’s energy infrastructure, DTEK’s press center reported.
The strike damaged a sixth DTEK facility.
Over the past two and a half weeks, this marks the sixth attack on Odesa Oblast’s energy system. DTEK stated that its specialists are working around the clock to repair the equipment.

Massive Russian strike on Ukraine on March 7
Overnight into March 7, the Russian military deployed Tu-95MS strategic bombers, launching Kh-101 missiles, sea-based Kalibr missiles, ballistic missiles, and dozens of drones across Ukraine. Explosions echoed from eastern to western cities.
Energy Minister German Halushchenko said the attack targeted energy and gas infrastructure, including gas production facilities. Naftogaz confirmed damage to its gas production sites.
Ukraine’s Air Force later detailed that Russia fired 261 targets — 194 drones and 67 missiles, including Kh-101s, Iskanders, and Kalibrs. Air defenses, using Mirage-2000 jets for the first time, downed 100 drones and 34 missiles, with up to 10 missiles and 86 drones failing to hit their marks.
Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov reported a strike on a civilian infrastructure site, with a woman pulled alive from the rubble. Apartment buildings were damaged, and fires broke out.
Regional authorities in Ternopil, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Chernihiv also reported hits and energy sector damage.
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.
