“As a result of Russian drone attacks on the energy infrastructure, in the morning there is damaged equipment and power cuts in the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions. Energy facilities in Odesa were also attacked at night. Everywhere, where the security situation allows, emergency and restoration work is already underway,” the message says.
The company noted that due to the consequences of previous massive missile and drone attacks, consumption restriction measures are being applied in most regions of Ukraine today.
“Until the end of the day, hourly shutdown schedules will be in effect with the volume of 2 to 4 shifts (with the maximum volume of restrictions in the evening hours). In all regions where hourly blackouts are applied, capacity limitation schedules for industrial consumers and businesses are also in effect,” Ukrenergo said.
Since the beginning of autumn, the Russian military has intensified its attacks on the Ukrainian energy and gas infrastructure, which supplies people with gas during the heating season.
The Ministry of Energy announced that Russia launched one of the largest ballistic missile attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure on the night of November 8. To eliminate damage and stabilize the operation of the power system, emergency shutdowns were first used, then special hourly shutdown schedules.
The UN mission said on November 12 that Ukraine is experiencing increasingly intense Russian attacks on energy infrastructure, and the number of victims among the civilian population remains high.
