Russia hits infrastructure facility in Zaporizhzhia: over 11,000 consumers without power
Russian forces attacked an infrastructure facility in Zaporizhzhia, causing over 11,000 residents to lose power but reported no injuries.
On February 10, Russian forces targeted an infrastructure facility in the city of Zaporizhzhia, resulting in significant power outages for over 11,000 residents across two districts. According to statements made by Ivan Fedorov, the Head of the Zaporizhzhia Oblast Military Administration, the attack involved drone strikes that not only disrupted the electricity supply but also caused damage to nearby buildings, where windows were shattered.
Fortunately, initial reports indicated that there were no casualties from the bombing. The incident highlights the ongoing conflict and its impact on civilian life, especially as infrastructure continues to be targeted amid hostilities. Local authorities are working to restore power to affected residents as quickly as possible, but the repeated strikes raise concerns about the safety and reliability of public services in the region.
This attack on civilian infrastructure underlines the persistence of military actions in Ukraine, where key utilities are often caught in the crossfire. As winter conditions exacerbate the situation, the loss of electricity could have severe repercussions for those affected, both in terms of heating and day-to-day life. The ongoing military campaigns have made the region's infrastructure a critical point of vulnerability during these conflict times.
