By the Numbers
Drone attacks carried out by Ukraine's armed forces have completely cut off electricity supply in part of the Kherson region temporarily occupied by Russia.
Volodymyr Saldo, head of the occupied Kherson administration, said that this darkness began last night and that several drones struck power substations, damaging equipment.
Saldo said he had not yet made a clear estimate about the repair duration and would announce it when information becomes clear.
The power outage in the area has currently lasted less than 24 hours.
Saldo's statements come as part of the 'Kırım Rubini kapalı' operation announced by Robert 'Magyar' Brovdi, Commander of Ukraine's Armed Forces Unmanned Aviation Units.
Brovdi stated that between August 26-28, Ukraine's drones targeted 21 energy facilities and the Luhansk TES.
At the same time, he reminded that the major blackout experienced on the night of August 28 in the occupied areas of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson occurred after a drone strike on the Luhansk TES.
Brovdi warned that all temporarily occupied territories would remain without electricity, saying, 'Get used to the buzzing, thieves'.
These events are being evaluated as an indication of continuous drone attacks targeting frontline energy infrastructure.
