Lutsk left without power and water after strike on energy facility

Massive outages in the regional centre

Following explosions, Lutsk has been plunged into a massive blackout. Residents of several districts have been left without electricity. Serious problems with the supply of drinking water are also being observed.

The situation is being reported by journalists from Suspilne, the publication Volyns'ki Novyny, and other local information resources.

Cause of the accident

Preliminary information from monitoring channels indicates that a critical failure in the power supply system occurred as a result of a strike by an enemy jet-powered drone on an energy infrastructure facility, likely an electrical substation.

Immediately after the detonation, the lights went out in residential quarters. In addition, pressure issues arose in the city's water supply network.
