Russian drone strikes on Ukraine’s Volyn region, which borders Poland, left 370,000 people without electricity, hit a business with foreign investments and injured two people, regional governor Roman Romaniuk said on Thursday.
Another five people were injured when drones struck an apartment building in Uman in central Ukraine, the national police said.
Emergency power cuts were introduced in Kiev during the Russian attacks, private energy provider DTEK said on X.
Poland scrambled fighter jets to protect its airspace during the strikes, the country’s armed forces said on X, adding later that no airspace violations had been recorded.
Further attacks on energy infrastructure
On October 12, Kiev said Russia had struck a power plant in Kharkiv despite US President Donald Trump announcing that Moscow and Kiev had agreed to halt attacks on energy infrastructure.
Zelenskyy said Ukraine supported the proposed ceasefire but had yet to see evidence of Russia’s agreement. He urged Washington to pressure Moscow to honour the proposed truce.
The Kremlin said contacts were continuing without confirming a deal.
