Russian forces carried out a strike on an energy facility in Chernihiv Oblast in northern Ukraine, local energy provider Chernihivoblenergo reported on Oct. 6.
The attack targeted the Ichnia district.
Energy workers have already started repair efforts, but restoration will be carried out in line with the security situation in the area.
“We ask residents to be patient — we are doing everything possible to restore electricity as quickly as we can,” the company wrote.
Overnight on Oct. 5, Russia attacked Chernihiv city and Oblast with Shahed-type attack drones. The strike hit a local enterprise and caused partial power outages in the city.
On Oct. 4, Russian forces struck an infrastructure facility in Chernihiv, sparking a large-scale fire.
The head of the Chernihiv Regional Military Administration, Viacheslav Chaus, reported that several key power supply facilities in Chernihiv were damaged, and Russia also hit another critical infrastructure site in the city.
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.
