As a result of another Russian attack on the Dnipropetrovsk region, eight coal mines were left without power. At the time of the incident, 2,595 miners were underground.
Rescue teams and mine personnel promptly organized the evacuation of workers to the surface. According to preliminary reports, there are no casualties or injuries.
“Russia continues its energy terror. This latest strike endangered the lives of thousands of miners. Russia keeps waging war against civilians. Its tactic is clear — to leave Ukrainians without light and heat during the winter,” said Minister of Energy of Ukraine Svitlana Grynchuk.
