Russia said on Tuesday its army had captured another village in eastern Ukraine, as its troops press on across the battlefield.
The Russian defence ministry said on social media that its forces had captured the village of Rozlyv in the Donetsk region, which Russia claims to have annexed despite not having full control over it.
Russia is still trying to capture the whole of eastern and southern Ukraine, though the pace of its advance has dipped in recent months, according to independent analysts.
Many locals, who had already fled homes in towns captured by Russia, doubted whether they had the strength to relocate once more.
As many as 45,000 people were without power.
“This morning, another Russian strike damaged a power facility in Kherson, leaving 45,000 residents without electricity,” Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga said during a press conference.
Russia’s defence ministry also accused Ukraine of a drone attack on an energy site in the Belgorod border region – the latest in a string of such accusations over the last week.
