In brief

A 70-year-old woman died after Russian strikes on energy infrastructure in Ukraine’s Odesa region. About 135,000 electricity customers were temporarily without power, regional authorities said.

Russian forces damaged energy facilities in the Odesa region on the evening of November 10 and the morning of November 11, RBC-Ukraine reported, citing regional governor Oleh Kiper. Emergency outages affected parts of the Bolhrad, Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi and Odesa districts.

Kiper initially reported that one person had been injured, then said a 70-year-old woman had died. She was admitted to hospital in extremely serious condition with multiple injuries, but doctors could not save her. RBC-Ukraine did not specify which of the strikes caused her injuries.

Crews from Ukrenergo and DTEK Odesa Electricity Networks were working to repair the damage. Local authorities opened additional emergency support centres, known as Points of Invincibility, during the repairs. RBC-Ukraine did not give a timetable for restoring electricity.
