Russian drones launched an overnight attack on Ukraine on Saturday, targeting energy infrastructure in two northern regions, according to officials. Ukrainian air defense reported that they shot down 13 of the 17 Russian drones over five regions in the east, north, and center of the country. One of the Shahed drones struck an energy facility in the Sumy region, while another hit a site in the Chernihiv region, regional officials confirmed.

Repair teams were dispatched to the affected sites immediately, and there were no reports of casualties. Since March, Russian forces have intensified missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, knocking out about half of the available energy generation and causing extended blackouts for millions.
