Russian<\/a> strikes on the energy infrastructure in Ukraine have left no fewer than two people, one in the country\u2019s western Lviv region, the other in an attack in the northeast, officials said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Governor Maksym Kozytskyi wrote on Telegram on Monday that the attack in Lviv destroyed a building and sparked a fire, adding that rescue operations were under way.<\/p>\n

Africa Today News, New York reports that in the Kharkiv region, Governor Oleh Syniehubov said that an air attack killed a 19-year-old man after a projectile hit a petrol station.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands in Ukraine\u2019s\u00a0Odesa region\u00a0were left without power after debris from a downed Russian drone caused a blaze at an energy facility, Governor Oleh Kiper said.<\/p>\n

Ukraine\u2019s largest private electricity operator DTEK said 170,000 homes suffered power outages as a result of the attack.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian air force said that it shot down nine of 11 drones launched by Russia overnight, as well as nine out of 14 cruise missiles.<\/p>\n

DTEK said five of its six plants have been damaged, with 80 percent of their generating capacity lost, according to Al Jazeera\u2019s Charles Stratford, reporting from Ukraine\u2019s capital Kyiv.<\/p>\n

DTEK supplies around a quarter of the country with electricity and repairs could take up to 18 months, said Stratford.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut those six plants are just a drop in the ocean in relation to other energy plants, energy facilities that have been hit by Russia in recent weeks,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Russia has\u00a0escalated attacks\u00a0on Ukraine\u2019s energy infrastructure in recent days, causing significant damage in several regions.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian energy company Centrenergo said on Saturday that the Zmiiv Thermal Power Plant, one of the largest in the northeastern Kharkiv region, was entirely destroyed following Russian shelling last week.<\/p>\n

Around 120,000 people in the area were still being affected by power outages, days after 700,000 people lost electricity after the plant was hit on March 22.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese attacks are, in the Kremlin\u2019s words, revenge for attacks that Ukraine had been making deep inside Russia, targeting their energy facilities and oil installations,\u201d said Al Jazeera\u2019s Stratford.<\/p>\n

Ukraine\u2019s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in an Easter message on Sunday, urged the country to persevere.<\/p>\n
