“no damage was done [to the Raduga substation]”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim that no damage was done to the Raduga substation is mentioned in one source stating the drone 'did not detonate'. However, another source mentions eight workers were injured in a drone attack on a substation near Energodar, creating a potential contradiction or referring to a different event, meaning there is no multi-source corroboration for 'no damage'.
