Ukraine Says Russian Drones Hit Power Substation in Central City

Russia attacked southern and central Ukraine with drones early Friday, hitting a power substation in the city of Kryvyi Rih, the grid operator Ukrenergo said in a statement on Telegram. ​​

Over 40,000 households and two mining operations lost power, initially stranding 113 miners underground, according to Ukrenergo and local authorities. Most of the miners eventually managed to escape, though 19 are still waiting to be removed, the city’s mayor, Oleksandr Vilkul, said on Telegram.
