On the morning of September 9, a Russian drone attacked a crew of Zaporizhzhiaoblenergo power workers who were on their way to restore power following shelling. No one was injured, but the vehicle sustained extensive damage.
On Wednesday morning, the Zaporizhzhia REM crew was traveling to one of the region’s communities, which had lost power the day before due to Russian shelling.
While on the road, the power workers’ vehicle was attacked by a Russian drone.
“This morning, a crew from the Zaporizhzhia Regional Electric Network was on its way to restore power to one of the communities that had been left without electricity the day before due to shelling by the invaders. On the way, the utility workers were attacked by an enemy UAV. Fortunately, no one was injured, but the vehicle sustained extensive damage as a result of the explosion,” said Andriy Stasevsky, head of Zaporizhzhiaoblenergo.
According to him, the workers were not injured, but the company vehicle was damaged.
Stasevsky emphasized that this is the second targeted attack by Russian troops on power company workers since the beginning of September.
Despite the danger, emergency crews continue to respond to restore power to communities affected by Russian shelling.
This was reported by Zaporizhzhiaoblenergo on Telegram.
