On the evening of November 8, Russian military forces launched an attack targeting a major energy infrastructure facility operated by DTEK in the northern part of Odesa Oblast. According to reporting by Ukrainska Pravda, the strike left a portion of local residents without electricity.

Damage Assessment and Debris Removal

Following the strike, the energy company stated that technical teams have already mobilized to inspect surviving infrastructure and initiate the removal of rubble at the damaged site.
