Miroshnik says Ukrainian attacks affected 470,000 electricity subscribers in a week
In short
Power outages caused by Ukrainian attacks during the week affected 470,000 subscribers, Miroshnik said, according to TASS. Residents of the Kursk region and the DNR were left without electricity, TASS reported. RIA Novosti separately reported that thousands of subscribers in the DNR lost power during the week because of the attacks.
Why it matters
The reports indicate that attacks continued to disrupt electricity supplies in the Kursk region and the DNR in a single week. Because the documents come from official Russian outlets, they present the outages as consequences of Ukrainian attacks and do not give details on damage, repairs or casualties. The figures are limited to subscribers and do not show the wider impact.
