The overnight strikes with Iranian-made drones capped a day in which Russian forces unleashed a major barrage of missiles on critical sites around Ukraine.
Russia did not immediately comment on it and Romania's defence ministry said it could not confirm the report. POWER SYSTEM DAMAGED Russia has carried out repeated waves of attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities in recent months, at times leaving millions of people without light, heating or water supplies during the cold winter. At least three explosions shook Kyiv and the surrounding region, with officials saying air defence systems were in operation in the capital and in other parts of the country.
A serious accident in the main network in Odesa region, which occurred due to the failure of equipment repeatedly restored after Russian attacks, threatens with longer restrictions on the power supply to Odesa and nearby areas, NPC Ukrenergo has reported.
The transmission system operator Ukrenergo warned of the possibility of emergency power outages in the regions due to the upward trend in consumption on Tuesday due to the cold snap and a significant resource shortage.
