Donetsk Region Faces Power Outages Following Russian Strikes

KYIV (Reuters) -Ukraine's entire eastern Donetsk region was without power after recent Russian attacks on energy infrastructure forced emergency power outages, the regional governor said on Sunday.

Russian forces have stepped up attacks on Ukraine's power grid in recent weeks as winter approaches and as Kremlin troops grind forward on the battlefield in a bid to take control in the east.

In a statement, Vadym Filashkin said authorities were working to restore power but offered no further details.

Earlier on Sunday, nearly 60,000 residents of the southeastern Zaporizhizhia region were left without power after overnight Russian strikes, said governor Ivan Fedorov.
