Russian missile strike hits thermal power station in west Ukraine, governor says

A Russian missile strike hit a thermal power station in the city of Burshtyn in western Ukraine on Wednesday, the region's governor said, the latest in a wave of attacks by Moscow on critical infrastructure.



"Our region experienced missile fire today. The Burshtyn thermal power station was hit, which caused a fire," Svitlana Onyshchuk, governor of the region of Ivano-Frankivsk, said in a video statement online. No one was hurt in the strike, she said.

 Ukraine will start restricting electricity supplies across the country on Thursday after Russia knocked out more power plants, a senior aide to President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Wednesday.

"From 7am to 11pm, it is necessary to minimise the use of electricity ... if this is not done, you should prepare for temporary blackouts," Kyrylo Tymoshenko, deputy head of Zelensky's office, said in a Telegram post.
