Russian drones hit Zhytomyr region energy, knocking out power in Zhytomyr and Ovruch

Russian drones attacked energy infrastructure in Ukraine's Zhytomyr region on the evening of November 7, damaging a boiler house in Zhytomyr and destroying a substation in Ovruch, with authorities warning of prolonged power outages. The attacks hit three of the region's four districts, affecting critical heat and power supply facilities. Heating to buildings served by the damaged boiler house was suspended, and the complete destruction of the Ovruch substation means restoration will take considerable time. No casualties have been reported, and repair work is ongoing. The attack follows a Russian strike on a Zhytomyr region energy facility on November 6 that caused power and water problems in Kyiv.
