Seven settlements in the Kursk region of Russia were cut off from electricity as a result of a drone attack.

The incident occurred on the morning of Tuesday, September 26.

Roman Starovoit, Russian governor of the Kursk region, announced this.

According to a Russian official, a drone dropped an explosive device on an electrical substation in the village of Snagost in the Korenovsky district of the region.

The governor claims that the drone was allegedly Ukrainian.

According to local authorities, no casualties were reported as a result of the attack. The damage that was done to the Russian electricity distribution facility is also unknown.

In his statement, Starovoit added that emergency crews would start restoring the power supply “as soon as possible.”

Later in the day, a source in the Security Service of Ukraine shared with the Ukrainian media that it was SSU drones that attacked an electrical substation in the village of Snagost in the Kursk region of Russia on September 26.

According to a representative of the Ukrainian special service, who spoke to the media anonymously, SSU special operations are reaching a new level.

He hinted that Ukraine would take mirror actions if Russian attacks on the Ukrainian energy sector continue.

“The Russians must understand that if they continue attacking Ukrainian energy facilities, they will receive a tough response. Our resources allow us to do this,” said a source in the SSU.

Previously, Ukrainian intelligence officials reported that Russia was likely preparing for massive strikes on Ukrainian energy facilities in the fall using missiles and drones to destroy them.
