Ministry of Energy: Russian shelling led to blackouts in 6 regions

In particular, according to the report, a substation and local industry were cut off as a result of hostilities in the Donetsk region”, — write: www.radiosvoboda.org

The Ministry of Energy of Ukraine reported on September 25 that due to Russian shelling and military actions of the past day, power outages occurred in the Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, Kharkiv and Kherson regions.

In particular, according to the report, a substation and local industry were cut off as a result of hostilities in the Donetsk region.

The ministry reminded that there are no planned power outages in Ukraine on September 25.

The Ministry of Energy emphasizes that the significant damage caused by Russia’s massive attacks, in particular one of the largest attacks on the energy industry on August 26, continues to complicate the operation of the energy system. In addition, Russian troops do not stop daily shelling of energy infrastructure facilities.

According to the ministry, since October 2022, Russia has carried out more than a thousand strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure facilities, and this year alone, 9 GW of generating capacity was lost due to strikes.

Last week, the UN mission said that Russian strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure have caused significant damage and could lead to even more devastating consequences as winter approaches.
