Russia's Defense Ministry said Saturday that drone strikes destroyed two electrical substations in the Ukrainian villages of Mena and Semenovka. According to the ministry, the facilities were being used by Ukrainian forces.
The statement identified the targets as a 110 kV substation in Mena and a 40 kV substation in Semenovka. No further details were provided in the available report about casualties, the scale of damage beyond the substations, or the immediate operational impact.
The claim comes amid the broader war in Ukraine, which began in February 2022 and has included repeated attacks on infrastructure connected to military activity and power supply. Energy sites have remained a sensitive part of the conflict because of their importance to logistics, communications and troop support.
Based on the information provided, the account of the strikes comes from the Russian side, and independent verification was not included in the report. The update adds to the continuing stream of battlefield claims and counterclaims tied to the war's infrastructure front.
