Ukraine's shelling of Belgorod disrupted power for thousands, with engineers restoring most connections. Cross-border attacks continue to affect the region.
(Reuters) -Ukraine's overnight shelling of the Russian region of Belgorod damaged power infrastructure, snapping electricity links to thousands of customers, the governor of the region bordering Ukraine said on Monday.
Although engineers and emergency services restored power to nearly 34,000 consumers by Monday morning, about 5,400 in 24 municipal areas were still without electricity, Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said on the Telegram messaging app.
Belgorod and other regions adjacent to Ukraine have faced persistent cross-border shelling and drone attacks, as the war Moscow unleashed against Kyiv in 2022 has spilled on to Russian soil, disrupting civilian life and damaging critical infrastructure.
Ukraine offered no immediate comment on the attack. Both sides say their strikes with each other's territory aim to destroy infrastructure key to the overall war effort.
