During the night, air defense shot down 8 out of 9 Shahed drones — the occupiers aimed at the power structure

Overnight, Ukrainian air defense forces shot down 8 out of 9 Shahed drones within Mykolaiv and Odesa regions.

This was reported by the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

In Odesa, the occupiers damaged one of the high-voltage power facilities of "Ukrenergo", as a result of which residents of the Peresyp district were left without electricity. Emergency blackouts are being introduced in the city and district — the situation with electricity remains difficult.

The Russians also targeted an energy facility in the Mykolayiv region — a fire broke out there, but there were no casualties. The wreckage of the drone also damaged houses in Mykolaiv. Previously, 11 people were injured in the city — 9 of them received medical help on the spot, and two were hospitalized.

• The Russian attack on the energy system of Ukraine on Friday, March 22, became the largest during the entire time of the full-scale invasion — DTEK lost half of its generation facilities. This caused losses of at least €100 million.
