In the Chernihiv region, 177 settlements were left without electricity as a result of Russian attacks.

Regional enemy company Chernihivoblenergo reported this on Facebook, according to Ukrinform.

"Unfortunately, the enemy continues its attempts to plunge the Chernihiv region into darkness. Today, the Russians once again attacked the region's energy infrastructure. As a result, 177 settlements in the Nizhyn and Pryluky districts are without power — that's nearly 54,000 consumers," the statement said.
