President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia launched new strikes on Ukrainian energy facilities throughout 16 October. His post does not identify the facilities or regions affected by these new strikes, or give casualty or damage figures. In the same post, he said parts of Volyn and Kyiv remained without power after the previous evening’s attack; that outage refers to a separate earlier event.

Evidence: Zelenskyy post reports new Russian strikes on Ukrainian energy facilities

Zelensky’s post attributes new energy-facility strikes to Russia and says they continued throughout 16 October, but names no affected facilities or regions and gives no casualty or damage figures. Its separate outage statement is explicitly linked to the previous evening’s attack.
