Where the versions diverge

TASS (tass.com) links the power outage to an explosion, without specifying its cause or the nature of the facility. Ukrainian outlets, citing the Poltava Regional Military Administration, report a UAV hitting an energy facility, while Ukrainska Pravda attributes the attack to the Russian side in its headline. The numbers of disconnected subscribers are consistent: TASS (tass.com) reports 22 thousand, and Ukrainian outlets report approximately 22 thousand. There are no reports from an independent/international group in the collection.
