Emergency services are on the scene, the official said.
Recall that earlier this week, Russian forces attacked an oil refinery in Kremenchuk.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmygal said on Friday that Russia has restarted a systematic campaign of air strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, but that its air defenses are better prepared for the attack than last year.
During the winter of 2022, Russian forces launched repeated attacks on the Ukrainian energy network, leaving millions of people without electricity, heat and water for a long time.
