Russia Targets Energy, Border Infrastructure in Ukraine's Chernivtsi Region
Four drones were detected over Ukraine's Chernivtsi region during a Russian attack on September 24, targeting energy and border infrastructure.
Russia carried out an attack on energy and border infrastructure in Ukraine's Chernivtsi region on September 24, according to Ukrainian officials.
Four unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were detected over the region during the attack, Ukrainian authorities said. Chernivtsi, located in western Ukraine near the border with Romania, has periodically come under attack as part of Russia's broader campaign targeting Ukrainian infrastructure.
Russia has repeatedly targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure throughout the war, particularly as seasonal temperatures drop, in attacks that Ukrainian officials say are intended to disrupt power and heating supplies for civilians.
Details on the extent of any damage caused by the September 24 attack, casualties, or the current status of energy and border facilities in the region were not immediately available.
Ukrainian air defense forces have regularly intercepted incoming drones and missiles during Russian attacks, though the outcome of interception efforts for this specific attack was not specified.
