⚡ Drone Strike in Zaporizhia

  • Ukrainian forces launched a drone attack on Russian-controlled parts of the Zaporizhia region, causing widespread power outages.
  • The strike targeted high-voltage equipment, disrupting electricity for homes, hospitals, and infrastructure.

๐Ÿ—บ️ Regional Context

  • Zaporizhia has been divided since 2022, with Russia annexing parts of it along with Kherson, Donetsk, and Luhansk.
  • Ukraine still controls the main city, while Russia holds more than half the territory.

๐Ÿ› ️ Aftermath and Response

  • The Moscow-installed governor, Yevgeny Balitsky, labeled the attack as terrorism.
  • Repair crews are working to restore power, but face challenges due to ongoing threats and nighttime conditions.

๐Ÿ”‹ Nuclear Plant Status

  • The Zaporizhia nuclear power plant, Europe’s largest, remains under Russian control but was not affected by the strike.
