Ukrainian media has reported explosions in a number of regions: Kiev, Kharkov, Sumy, Poltava, Vinnitsa, Kirovograd, Dnepropetrovsk, Ivano-Frankovsk, Lvov, and Odessa.
As Russian forces hammered Ukraine’s targets, a series of explosions resulted in power outages in Kiev. In total, about a dozen explosions were heard in the city, according to the local pro-Russian resistance.
An energy facility was hit in Odessa, Sergei Lebedev, coordinator of the pro-Russian Nikolayev underground, told Sputnik.
In the town of Stryi in the Lvov region, a major detonation occurred after a strike, and the power went out.
In Ivano-Frankovsk, a strike was carried out on a warehouse with military equipment, with the explosion occurring in an area where Ukrainian forces had also hid two F-16s, the pro-Russian underground told Sputnik. Strikes reportedly hit containers storing fuel and lubricants, with plumes of black smoke seen rising. Numerous ambulances were on the scene, with parts of Ivano-Frankovsk blocked by the military, Lebedev noted.
A precision strike targeted Ukrainian military personnel stationed In Volyn.
Moscow has repeatedly underscored that in targeting Ukrainian energy, defense industry, military command and communications facilities the Russian Armed Forces do not strike residential buildings or social infrastructure.
