Russian Strike on Chernihiv Energy Facility Leaves 12,000 Without Power
Russian forces targeted energy infrastructure in Ukraine's northeastern Chernihiv Oblast late on April 12, 2026, causing significant damage and power outages for approximately 12,000 subscribers. The attack occurred shortly after the expiration of a 32-hour Orthodox Easter ceasefire. Local officials reported that emergency restoration crews are on standby to repair the facility once security conditions permit. The strike is part of renewed hostilities following thousands of reported truce violations across the frontline.
