Russian strike on Ternopil energy site cuts power in Kremenets district

Russian forces struck an energy infrastructure facility in western Ukraine's Ternopil region again, leaving some consumers in the Kremenets district without electricity, according to Ukrainian reports citing local authorities.

Ukrainska Pravda and Ukrinform said the attack caused a fresh interruption to electrical supplies. The officials described it as a repeated strike on energy infrastructure, rather than confirming that damage from an earlier incident had simply worsened.

The available sources did not provide the facility's exact location, the number of homes affected or a confirmed time by which electricity would be restored. Nor did they report casualties associated with this particular attack.

Energy workers and regional authorities were assessing the outage. Details of any backup generators, industrial disruption or repairs were not provided in the material reviewed and cannot be assumed.

The incident comes as other Ukrainian regions have reported separate strikes on electricity facilities. Losses of power in Vinnytsia or other provinces should not be counted as part of the Kremenets district incident without an official nationwide total.

Officials attributed the strike to Russian forces. That attribution reflects the Ukrainian authorities' account; the source materials did not include an independent forensic investigation of the weapon involved.
