#Russia's relentless attacks on energy infrastructure across #Ukraine are depriving an already long-suffering civilian population of adequate warmth, water & electricity, impacting all aspects of civilian life. These attacks must stop - says @volker_turk. ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

Last night, Russian armed forces attacked several Ukrainian cities, once again targeting energy infrastructure. Our team visited several locations in Odesa struck during a massive loitering munitions attack to document its impact on civilians. The attack damaged an energy facility, multiple residential buildings, private houses, and a kindergarten. At least 3 civilians were killed and dozens, including children, were injured according to local authorities. Overnight attacks also hit several other cities and villages. An energy facility in Kharkiv City was severely damaged. The local authorities said up to 80% of the city lost electricity, and four civilians were reportedly injured.

UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk said he was outraged by continued large-scale attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure: “I call on the Russian authorities to immediately cease these attacks. It is appalling to see civilians suffering in this way.” 👉 bit.ly/4jRTc5h
