On the morning of November 9, Russian forces deliberately targeted a vehicle carrying power workers in Sumy.
Oleh Hryhorov, head of the Sumy Regional Military Administration, reported the strike on his Telegram channel, according to Censor.NET.
Power workers injured
Three workers were injured in the enemy drone strike, the report said. All three were promptly taken to hospital, where they are receiving medical care.
The regional military administration said preliminary reports indicated that one of the workers had serious injuries. He is undergoing surgery.
"Russian forces continue to deliberately attack civilians. Among those targeted are people who risk their lives every day to repair damaged infrastructure and restore power to homes across Sumy region," RMA head stressed.
What Ukrenergo says
Ukrenergo said Russia continues to deliberately target both energy infrastructure and the people who keep it running and repair damaged equipment.
"Our power workers face constant danger as they work every day to keep electricity flowing to Ukrainians. Today’s strike is another reminder of the price they pay for this work," the company said.
