Ukraine Strikes Bryansk Energy Facilities, Causing Blackouts
Governor Alexander Bogomaz of Russia’s Bryansk Oblast claimed Ukrainian forces attacked the region on February 7 with Neptune missiles and HIMARS, targeting energy infrastructure and disrupting power in seven municipalities. This alleged strike follows a pattern of Ukrainian attacks on Bryansk Oblast, which borders Ukraine. The Ukrainian military has not commented, and these claims remain unverified by The Kyiv Independent at the time of publication. The reported incident occurs in the context of ongoing retaliatory strikes between Russia and Ukraine, with Russia having recently conducted a large-scale attack on Ukrainian energy facilities.
