Russian forces strike energy facility near Kharkiv region border

This was reported on Telegram by Vyacheslav Zadorenko, head of the Derhachi City Military Administration, according to Ukrinform. 

“Today, around 1:50 p.m., the Russians attacked one of the energy infrastructure facilities, leaving more than 800 residents of Ruska Lozova without power,” the message reads.

Specialists from “Kharkivoblenergo” are assessing the damage to determine the timeline for restoration, Zadorenko added. 

In addition, Russian troops shelled the border community of Zolochiv today. 

“Russian troops struck a two-story non-residential building in the village of Zolochiv, Bohodukhiv District, with a drone. The strike caused a fire—structural elements of the roof burned over an area of 30 square meters. Fortunately, there were no casualties,” the regional State Emergency Service reported.

Rescue workers extinguished the fire despite the threat of renewed shelling.

As previously reported, a Russian drone attacked a facility in Derhachi, Kharkiv region, on the evening of March 24, causing a fire.
