Residents of eight Ukrainian regions left without power following Russian strikes on energy infrastructure

Russian occupiers continue the deliberate destruction of Ukraine's energy infrastructure. According to data, as of the morning of 11 November, a portion of consumers in eight regions of the country have been deprived of electricity supply due to shelling.

Situation in the regions

This was stated by Artem Nekrasov, First Deputy Minister of Energy of Ukraine, at a briefing. He noted that power outages were recorded in Dnipropetrovsk, Zhytomyr, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Rivne, Kharkiv, Odesa, and Chernihiv regions.

The most difficult situation is observed in Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, and Odesa regions. Conditions also remain challenging in frontline regions, where the enemy systematically strikes energy facilities. Specialists are working to restore damaged equipment, but their activities are complicated by prolonged air raid alerts and the threat of new strikes.

Strike on energy workers in Sloviansk

It is worth separately mentioning an incident in Sloviansk in Donetsk region over the past day. There, a Russian unmanned aerial vehicle attacked a brigade of energy workers who were performing their official duties. As a result of the strike, one employee was injured and hospitalised.

In Kharkiv region, emergency shutdowns were introduced due to equipment damage and voltage drops in the high-voltage network. A return to scheduled electricity supply is possible only after the situation in the energy system stabilises.

Restriction schedules

In most regions of Ukraine, hourly power outage schedules for the population remain in effect. Power limitation schedules are applied for industrial consumers.

The Ministry of Energy warns that the electricity supply situation may change throughout the day due to continuous Russian attacks. It is recommended to use the official resources of distribution system operators to obtain up-to-date information on outages.
