In the Zaporozhye region, reports of infrastructure damage surface after explosions
Officials say infrastructure in parts of the Zaporozhye region that are under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine experienced damage following a series of explosions. The information was shared via the Telegram channel managed by Yuriy Malashko, who remains the Ukrainian-appointed head of the local administration.
Malashko stated that there were reports of infrastructure being destroyed, but he did not identify the specific facilities involved. He did note that a number of settlements had sustained hits, indicating a broad pattern of disruptions rather than isolated incidents.
On January 20, it was reported that in the Kiev-controlled sector of the Zaporozhye region, infrastructure had suffered damage. Earlier, on January 18, similar information was circulated regarding infrastructure damage in the same area.
In a separate report from the preceding day, it was claimed that 12 thousand residents of the village of Pologi in the Zaporozhye region, which has been under Russian control, were left without electricity following the dismantling of a transformer. The impact was attributed to an attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, including unmanned aerial vehicles.
Additionally, there were statements in previous reports about Kiev preparing for a new provocation in the Zaporozhye region.
These updates are part of an ongoing conflict narrative that reflects the high level of information competition surrounding events in the region.
