Continued blackouts in Ukraine with Russian drone attacks

According to the report of Fars International News Agency, Ukrainian authorities said on Tuesday that the attack of Russian drones last night on parts of the country led to power outages.

according to the newspaper “Kiev Independent” DIn one of the Russian drone attacks on Ukraine last night, an electric substation was damaged in Dnipropetrovsk province and caused blackout in Chernihiv region.

The Russian Air Force also announced that it launched 35 drones into Ukraine. Some of the Russian drones targeted the energy infrastructure as well as civilian and military facilities near the front line and the Russian border. Natalya Homnyuk from the Ukrainian military officials said: Russia does not stop its activity. Nearby areas are particularly affected by regular bombing and the use of drones. Russia has greatly strengthened this component.”

Russian drones have confused Ukraine’s air defenses because they are harder to detect than missiles.

Not long ago, the British Ministry of Defense announced that the Russian “Lancet” drones, as one of the most powerful weapons in the Russian arsenal, are seeking to bypass the air defense of Ukraine.

This drone is produced by the Russian company “Zala Aero”. Russia mainly uses Lancet drones to attack distant targets, for this reason, their use in reconnaissance operations and attacks on Ukrainian artillery has increasingly increased.

Homniuk said the Russians are using drones capable of launching cluster munitions.

Russia in the winter of 2022-2023 to target Ukraine’s energy infrastructure It orchestrated numerous attacks that caused widespread outages and damage to the network. This winter, Russia has continued with a similar strategy and has intensified its attacks on energy facilities as the weather gets colder. He said that Russia’s winter missile attacks mainly target Ukraine’s military-industrial complex, and this represents a change from last winter’s attacks on energy infrastructure.
