Workers repair power lines damaged by missile strikes near Odesa, Ukraine (AFP)

Ukraine’s southern operational command said Russian forces struck energy infrastructure with Iranian-made drones in the Odesa region, which left thousands of people without power, Bloomberg reported.

Ukrainian forces on Friday repelled Russian attacks near 13 settlements.

This came in a statement on the Facebook page of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

In the last 24 hours, Russia has carried out five missile strikes, about 20 air strikes and more than 60 rocket launcher attacks, the Ukrainian General Staff of the Armed Forces added.

The country's energy system and critical infrastructure continue to be under the threat of attacks.
