In the early hours of March 26, Russian forces launched another wave of attacks on Ukraine’s railway and port infrastructure, according to Oleksiy Kuleba, Minister for Community and Territorial Development.
In Kirovohrad region, drones targeted a locomotive maintenance facility, damaging several engines. In southern Ukraine, warehouse buildings, port operator offices, and the passenger sea terminal sustained hits.
“Fortunately, no one was injured during these attacks. All relevant services are working to eliminate the consequences and restore operations,” Kuleba said.
The Ministry of Energy reported that, as of the morning of March 26, portions of Dnipropetrovsk region, Odessa region, Sumy region, Chernihiv region, Zaporizhzhia region, and Kharkiv region remained temporarily without electricity due to the ongoing military strikes and damage to energy infrastructure.
The most severe disruptions were reported in Chernihiv and Odessa regions, where repeated attacks heavily damaged energy equipment, leaving many residents without power.
Energy specialists are working around the clock to restore electricity. The Ministry urged consumers to conserve energy during peak hours in the morning and evening to reduce strain on the system.
