According to inkorr.com: On the night of November 2, explosions echoed in occupied Alchevsk, located in the Luhansk region, and in Kursk. As reported by 'Glavcom', citing Exilenova+, a substation in Alchevsk was attacked, resulting in power outages in the city. Local Telegram channels noted that a fire broke out as a consequence of the drone attack, likely due to the ignition of transformer oil.

Attacks on Energy Infrastructure

It is noteworthy that on the night of October 31, the Oryol CHPP in the city of Oryol, Russia, was attacked. This plant serves to produce electricity and heat energy for the needs of Oryol and neighboring territories. Additionally, a substation in the Vladimir region was also attacked.

In the Astrakhan region, at the 'Kapustin Yar' test site, a ballistic missile from the 'Oreshnik' complex was destroyed on the night of July 8-9, 2024. The operation was conducted jointly by the Main Intelligence Directorate, the Security Service, and the Foreign Intelligence Service.

On October 30, Russian invaders again attacked the energy infrastructure, with the Sloviansk TPP coming under fire.

Earlier, The Economist noted that Russian strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure are increasing. The Kremlin actively uses cheap Shahed drones and missiles for pinpoint attacks on the country's electrical networks, aiming to destroy key elements of the energy system, so that large parts of Ukraine become uninhabitable.

In Ukraine, threats to energy infrastructure continue to exist in both occupied and controlled territories. These new incidents indicate the protraction of the conflict and the intent to destabilize the situation in the region through strikes on energy facilities.
