Ukraine says Russian attacks leave two dead, thousands without power

-

KYIV, March ‌21 (Reuters) - Russian attacks on Ukraine ​killed two people in Zaporizhzhia and left most ⁠of the northern region of Chernihiv without power on Saturday, Ukrainian officials said.

Zaporizhzhia ​Governor Ivan Fedorov said the morning attack on ‌the city killed a man and a woman, and injured six others, including two ⁠children.

Meanwhile, in Chernihiv region, Governor ⁠Viacheslav Chaus said repair works were underway to fix damage after a drone strike on an energy facility. The region, ‌which borders Russia and Belarus, had a ⁠pre-war population of nearly ‌a million.

The regional capital, ​also called Chernihiv, was fully without power, the city administration there said.

Russia has ‌conducted a bombardment campaign against ​Ukrainian energy ⁠facilities throughout the war, causing regular, ‌hours-long blackouts across the ⁠country.

Chernihiv was badly hit by power outages over the winter as Russia carried out ​its biggest ‌bombing campaign of the four-year war against ⁠Ukraine's electricity grid.
