Separately, the Telegram channel Astra reported that Ukraine had struck energy infrastructure in Russia’s Belgorod region.
Belgorod region Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said nearly 60,000 residents were left without electricity following what he described as a missile strike on energy facilities.
“Kindergartens and schools will operate. All have been switched to backup power,” Gladkov wrote, adding that it was physically impossible to fully transfer the wider Belgorod agglomeration to reserve electricity.
Russian officials also reported disruptions to water supply and heating in some residential buildings.
Kyiv has not publicly commented on the reported strike in the Belgorod region.
