According to Mash, five settlements in the Kursk region were left without electricity "as a result of the shelling of power lines in the village of Neonilovka by the Ukrainian Armed Forces." These are approximately 350 residential buildings and more than 1000 people. Most of them have gas boilers that operate without electricity.

"The villages of Neonilivka, Khodiykove and Dronivka are still freezing and sitting in the dark. About 700 people live there. Emergency crews are not in a hurry to restore the power supply for fear of coming under fire. They promise to restore the power by tomorrow morning," the Telegram channel said.
