Russian Strikes Cut Power to Over 200,000 in Ukraine's Chernihiv Region

Russian airstrikes overnight Tuesday left more than 212,000 electricity customers without power in Ukraine's Chernihiv region after hitting two critical infrastructure facilities. The attacks caused widespread energy disruption across the northeastern region, including in the city of Slavutych, where critical facilities were forced to switch to backup power sources. Chernihiv region, which borders Russia and Belarus, has been repeatedly targeted throughout the war as part of Russia's campaign against Ukraine's energy infrastructure, aimed at degrading civilian services and heating during winter months.
