A Ukrainian drone attack on Tuesday knocked out electricity in parts of Zaporizhzhia region under Russian control, Moscow-installed Governor Yevgeny Balitsky said. Repair crews are restoring power amid the risk of further strikes. Kyiv controls the region’s administrative centre, while Russian forces hold much of the surrounding territory, according to Reuters.

In June, similar attacks left around 700,000 residents without power for more than 24 hours. The Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant remained unaffected, with safety systems operating normally.

Elsewhere, Russian shelling continued to affect civilians. In Kherson and Dnipropetrovsk regions, local officials reported residents killed in attacks on towns north of Kherson and on Nikopol, Reuters reported.
