According to Syniehubov, four settlements are left without power due to the shelling. Power engineers are working to restore the power supply to the 718 homes.

Over the past day, Russian troops also shelled Liubotyn, Vilshana, Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi, and other settlements in the region. They damaged residential buildings and outbuildings.
