(OFFICIAL)-Overnight Russian attack could lead to power cuts, Ukraine's grid operator says

Overnight Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure caused a deficit in grid system which could prompt power cuts in the evening for consumers around the country, Ukraine's grid operator Ukrenergo said on Wednesday.

The company said later power generating facilities were damaged in the attack via the Telegram messaging app. On Wednesday morning, nine Ukrainian regions experienced power cuts as a result of the attack and ongoing fighting.
