MOSCOW, March 29. /TASS/. Attacks by Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles on Russian energy infrastructure have left over 9,000 consumers in the Belgorod Region without electricity, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
The agency explained that, as a result of Ukrainian strikes, a number of high-voltage power lines had been shut down and a power converter sustained major damage.
"Over 1,100 domestic consumers have lost electric power in the Grayvoronsky District. At 6:07 p.m. Moscow time (3:07 p.m. GMT - TASS), as a result of an attack by a Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle, a high-voltage power line was shut down in the Belgorod Region <...> with the subsequent cut-off of energy supplies to more than 8,000 domestic consumers in the Borisovsky District," the ministry noted.
According to the military agency, the Kiev regime has just increased the number of attacks on energy infrastructure in Russia’s Kursk and Belgorod regions, despite claims by Vladimir Zelensky about the purported cessation of attacks on Russian energy facilities.
