Russian occupants targeted electricians inspecting a damaged high-voltage line in Slobozhanske, Lipetsk community, Kharkiv region, following nighttime shelling.
The attack was reported by Kharkivoblenergo.
This marks the second attack on the Lipetsk power distribution brigade in a single day.
«The same crew came under fire in the village of Vesele yesterday, January 8. The electricians were on their way to restore power supply after the shelling when shells started exploding around them. The icy road conditions make it challenging to swiftly exit the danger zone. Fortunately, none of the workers were injured in these two incidents, but there is damage to our networks», — mentioned Roman Gangan, the leading engineer of Lipetsk Power Distribution Center at Kharkivoblenergo
