Kyiv (EFE).- A Russian drone attack has damaged energy infrastructure and the state-owned railway company, Ukrzaliznytsia, in the southern Ukrainian region of Odesa, regional governor Oleg Kiper said on Tuesday.
“As a result of the attack, fires have broken out in several energy infrastructure (complexes),” Kiper wrote on his Telegram account.
Kiper added that a depot of the railway company and one of its administrative buildings have also been hit.
According to a Ukrainian Air Force report, Russia attacked the Ukrainian regions of Odesa, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, and Kharkiv with 119 drones, of which 53 were neutralized and another 59 hit 18 unspecified locations.
The figures confirm the dramatic drop in the interception percentage, which in some phases of the war reached almost 100 percent each night.
Since the beginning of autumn, Russia attacks Ukrainian energy infrastructure practically every night.
Their drones have also targeted Ukrainian energy infrastructure as a regular objective since August.
Ukraine has launched constant drone attacks against Russian refineries and other energy infrastructure.
Andriy Kovalenko, the head of the Counter Disinformation Center of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, wrote on his Telegram account that a refinery in the Russian region of Saratov was hit by drones during the night. EFE
