Two energy substations in southern and central Ukraine were damaged by Russian kamikaze drone attacks on March 9, state electricity grid operator Ukrenergo reported on March 10.
Consumers were not cut off from electricity as a result of the attacks and repairs are underway, according to Ukrenergo.
The briefing did not specify which exact regions of Ukraine the sites were damaged in.
Russian forces have repeatedly targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure since fall 2022.

Independent journalism needs a community —
not a paywall.
We’re working hard to show the world the truth of Russia’s brutal war — and we’re keeping it free for everyone, because reliable information should be available to all.
Our goal: reach 20,000 members to prove independent journalism can survive without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise. Will you help us do it?
