Some 84,000 people are still without power in the Russian-held part of Ukraine's Kherson region after Ukrainian strikes this week on energy infrastructure, a senior Russian official said on Thursday. Vladimir Saldo, the Russian-appointed governor of the region, said Ukrainian attacks on Tuesday and Wednesday damaged a power substation, initially leaving almost 100,000 people in 96 settlements without electricity.
Both sides in the Russia-Ukraine war have intensified strikes on energy infrastructure since peace talks stalled in the summer.
