Quote: "Early reports indicate that there was a strike on an energy facility near Novovolynsk.

Power has gone out in part of the hromada. There are also disruptions to water supply." [A hromada is an administrative unit designating a village, several villages, or a town, and their adjacent territories – ed.]

Details: The Air Force had earlier reported that a drone was flying over Volyn Oblast.

Update: Romaniuk confirmed that a critical infrastructure facility was damaged.

As a result, one of the districts in the oblast has been left without power. As of now, more than 30,000 consumers are without electricity.
