(Reuters) - Russian forces staged mass strikes late on Thursday on energy targets in Kharkiv region in northeastern Ukraine, the regional governor said.
Oleh Syniehubov, the governor, writing on the Telegram messaging app, said air defences were heavily engaged in repelling the attacks and emergency services were on site. He gave few details on the targets and urged residents to disclose no information.
Syniehubov said one man had been injured in a Russian attack on the town of Balakliya, southeast of Kharkiv.
Ukraine's Air Force reported threats of attacks by glide bombs and drones in various parts of the region.
Kharkiv, Ukraine's second largest city, resisted capture by Russian forces in the early stages of Russia's February 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The city and the region surrounding it have since been a frequent target for air strikes by Russian forces.
