Kiev: Air raid sirens went off overnight in several regions of Ukraine, according to air raid data from the country’s Ministry of Digital Transformation.
Air raid warnings were in effect in the Ukrainian regions of Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv, as well as the Ukraine-controlled parts of Zaporizhzhia Region and the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), the ministry’s online map showed.
Later in the night, air raid sirens went off in the regions of Cherkasy, Poltava, Sumy, and Kirovohrad. In the regions of Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv, as well as the Ukraine-controlled parts of Zaporizhzhia Region and DPR, air raid alerts were issued for the second time.
On Saturday morning, air raid warnings were in effect in the regions of Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv, and the Ukraine-controlled parts of Zaporizhzhia and DPR.
Ukrainian media reported late on Friday night that explosions were heard in the Kiev region of Ukraine, as well as the Kharkiv region and the Ukraine-controlled Zaporizhzhia.
Earlier this month, the head of Ukrainian power grid operator Ukrenergo said that direct damage to Ukraine’s energy infrastructure caused by Russian strikes may amount to hundreds of millions of dollars, with economic losses ranging in billions.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said in November of last year that about 50% of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure had been damaged as a result of the precision strikes against Ukrainian infrastructure that Russia started carrying out on October 10, 2022 (two days after the terrorist attack on the Crimean Bridge).
