Quote from Monastyrskyi: "This is the second attack on this scale since 24 February. From the point of view of critical energy infrastructure, this must be the largest such attack in modern history.

We can now call this attack energy terrorism. In my opinion, it was just an extension of [Russia’s] nuclear terrorism at the nuclear power plant, I mean the Zaporizhzhia NPP, which the Russian forces shelled relentlessly.

There were attacks on 12 different oblasts. As of now, we have recorded a total of 74 attacks, and sadly we have confirmed the deaths of 14 people; another 97 people sustained injuries."

Details: Monastyrskyi said that Ukraine expects to restore the damage to its energy infrastructure within the next 24 hours.

He added that 30 fires caused by Russia’s missile strikes on Ukraine have been extinguished. As of now, 1,300 cities, towns and villages continue to experience power outages.

Four [coal] mines have been left without power in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast; 854 miners were there at the time of the Russian attack. A total of 118 of them remain underground; a rescue operation to get them out is underway.
