Missiles, Drones Hit Key Infrastructure In Ukraine

A series of missile and drone strikes which were attributed to Russia hit energy facilities and railway infrastructure across Ukraine over the night of July 19 and 20.

The Ukrainian Air Force said that the Russian military launched four Iskander-M tactical ballistic missiles and 17 Geran-type suicide drones during the attack. The air force admitted that none of the missiles were intercepted, but claimed that 13 of the drones were shot down over five regions in the east, north, and center of the country.

Oleh Syniehubov, regional governor for the northeastern Kharkiv region, said that the missiles targeted an infrastructure facility in the settlement of Barvinkove in the northeast.

The Ukrainian Railways also revealed that the overnight attack damaged railway infrastructure in some parts of Kharkiv region and briefly delayed some passenger trains.

In addition, Ukrenergo, the national grid operator, said that the drones attacked electricity distribution facilities in the central Poltava region, in the northeastern Sumy region and in the northern Chernihiv region. Emergency power cuts were imposed on industrial and residential consumers in Poltava and Chernihiv as a result, according to the company.

Also overnight, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that a large-scale Ukrainian attack that targeted two regions in southeastern Russia was repelled.

Russian air defenses shot down 26 suicide drones over the region of Rostov, the ministry said in a statement, adding that another drone was intercepted over the region of Smolensk.

Rostov Governor Vasily Golubev said on his official Telegram channel that “there were no casualties as a result of the attack.” There were also no reports of any losses in Smolensk.

It’s worth noting that the Russian military resumed group strikes on military infrastructure and related energy facilities in Ukraine last March in response to repeated attacks by Kiev forces on Russian territories. The retaliatory strikes inflicted heavy losses on Ukraine.
