The Russian Defence Ministry said on Thursday that Ukrainian armed forces have carried out four attacks on Russian energy infrastructure facilities in the past 24 hours.

“Over the past 24 hours, the Ukrainian armed forces have carried out four attacks on Russian energy infrastructure,” the ministry said in a statement.

As a result of the attacks, approximately 3,000 consumers have been left without electricity in the Kursk and Belgorod regions, the ministry added.

In the Zaporizhzhia region, Kyiv’s drone attack on the Vasilyevka electrical substation left about 9,000 people without power, the statement read.

This is coming a few hours after Ukraine announced a deadly drone attack on Ukraine by the Russian Army.

The governor of the southeastern Ukrainian region said in a post on the Telegram messaging app that a 45-year-old civilian was killed and two injured in a strike on a settlement near the frontline in the Zaporizhzhia region.
