Over 60,000 consumers left without power in Dnipro after Russian attacks
Repeated Russian attacks on energy facilities left more than 60,000 consumers in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro without electricity on the evening of 7 November. Repairs will start once the security situation allows.
More than 60,000 consumers in Dnipro, the administrative centre of Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region, were left without electricity on the evening of 7 November. The cause was Russian attacks on energy infrastructure, which have been going on in the region for more than a week. The information came from Oleksandr Hanzha, head of the Dnipropetrovsk regional military administration.
Hanzha said people lost power because of repeated Russian attacks on the energy sector. He added that repair work will begin only when the security situation permits.
What happened before
Since 29 October, Russian forces have been actively targeting energy facilities in the Dnipropetrovsk region. On 30 October, emergency power outages were introduced in Dnipro and across the region, and almost all electric transport in the city stopped.
On 2 November, electricity was restored to 820,000 families in the region after massive attacks on the power system. The latest strike means that a large number of consumers in the city are again without power.
The source does not specify which facilities were hit in the latest attack or how long restoration may take.
