As a result of a combined Russian strike on the night of Tuesday, January 27, approximately 80% of Kharkiv and the Kharkiv region were left without power. This was reported by Oleg Sinegubov, head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, on his Telegram channel.
According to him, the strikes were carried out using a Tornado-S multiple launch rocket system and Shahed unmanned aerial vehicles. Two people were injured in the attack. Energy infrastructure facilities and civilian buildings, including schools, were damaged.
Sinegubov noted that the damage to the region's power system is "quite serious." He stated that approximately 80% of Kharkiv and the surrounding region are currently without power due to the implementation of emergency power outage schedules.
