This information was publicly reported by the regional governor, Roman Starovoit, through his official channels. The governor noted the incident in his update, stating plainly that the substation had been damaged.
Following the strike, residents in several local settlements experienced power outages. Emergency teams have mobilized to restore service, and crews are testing the grid using a backup circuit to ensure continued electricity supply where possible.
