In response to the Ukrainian blitz and the guerrilla attacks that dealt it a heavy blow, Russia continues to attack civilian infrastructure in Ukraine. The Russian army bombed tonight (Monday) the nuclear power plant near the city of Mykolaiv in the south of the country and caused significant damage to the place and the electricity supply.
According to the report of the nuclear energy company of Ukraine, "Energatum", the Russian army hit a transformer farm located 300 meters from the nuclear reactor complex, causing great damage and a power outage there.
According to the company's report, the reactor's cooling system switched to operating with a generator and there was no damage to the reactor's operation.
Having attacked/occupied Chernobyl and Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plants before, last night Russia targeted Pivdennoukrainsk NPP in Mykolaiv region.
RU missile landed just some 300 m from the facility, shattering windows, prompting a short power outage.

As you remember, Ukraine managed to reverse the balance of power and recapture large areas in the north-east of the country in the Kharkiv region.
The Ukrainians released 3,000 square kilometers of territory that was occupied in the first months of the Russian invasion of the country.
The retreating Russians left behind many, many vehicles.
On top of that, the Russian military left behind warehouses and storage stations full of ammunition, which the Ukrainians desperately need.
The Ukrainian army has a large amount of Russian tanks and guns.
