In the Chernihiv region, authorities said Russian shelling hit an energy facility overnight, causing power outages.

“At night, the enemy shelled the Ichnyan region,” said regional energy operator Chernihivoblenergo, adding that an energy facility was hit.

In the southern Odessa region, regional governor Oleh Kiper said Russian “Shahed” drones attacked a civilian industrial facility, sparking a fire that was quickly extinguished. He added that there were no casualties.

Independent verification of the claims is difficult due to the ongoing war.
