Details: Chernihivoblenergo reported that the repair work had initially been postponed until the evening because a reconnaissance drone had been circling over the facility for a long time.

Quote: "When the security situation had more or less normalised and the work finally began, the Russians launched several more drones on the same place – this time, combat ones. Fortunately, the company's personnel were not injured – the power engineers managed to hide in a shelter in time, but their vehicle sustained significant damage."

Details: In such conditions, Chernihiv power engineers have recently had to work almost every day, the company said.

"The Russians deliberately prevent them from approaching damaged electricity supply facilities, carry out repeat strikes right during emergency repair works and hunt for their equipment," Chernihivoblenergo added.
