(Reuters) – A Russian drone attack damaged energy infrastructure in Ukraine’s Black Sea port of Odesa on Monday, triggering power cuts in the city and knocking out heating systems, local officials said.
“A strike has damaged energy infrastructure,” regional Governor Oleh Kiper wrote on Telegram. “There are power cuts now in parts of the city.”
Odesa Mayor Hennady Trukhanov said the attack had knocked out three boiler plants, prompting officials to scramble to find alternative power sources to restore heating to city residents.
