In Odesa, interruptions in electricity and heat supply are recorded due to the Russian strike – OVA

In Odesa, as a result of a night-time combined missile and drone attack by Russian troops, an energy facility was damaged, the head of the regional military administration Oleg Kiper said.

“On the night of December 6, the enemy again struck the civilian infrastructure of Odesa. Despite the active work of the air defense, the energy facility was damaged, without further ignition. Fortunately, there were no casualties. Interruptions in electricity and heat supply were recorded. Specialists are already working on eliminating the consequences,” Kiper wrote in a telegram.

According to him, the critical infrastructure has been transferred to generators, nine points of invincibility have been deployed to help the population.

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. As a result of the attacks, emergency power outages occur. In Ukraine, due to damage to energy facilities as a result of Russian shelling, hourly blackout schedules and capacity limitation schedules are used for industrial consumers and businesses.

The main complication after the massive shelling of the Russian Federation is the situation with the transmission of electricity between regions, Deputy Minister of Energy of Ukraine Mykola Kolisnyk said.
