Russian drone strikes hit Poltava industrial site following broad energy grid attacks

Russian strikes against Ukrainian energy and industrial infrastructure persisted over the weekend, causing widespread power disruptions and additional targeted damage across several regions.

Following overnight drone attacks that disconnected over 850,000 electricity consumers in the Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions, local utility operators implemented emergency power cuts and scheduled stabilization blackouts. Authorities in Poltava region subsequently reported a drone strike targeting an industrial facility in the Kremenchuk district, with preliminary reports indicating no casualties.

The sustained bombardment of critical utility networks occurs as Ukrainian officials prepare for severe winter conditions. Local administrations have urged residents and businesses to minimize power usage and adhere to light-discipline measures during ongoing air raid alerts.
