On November 5, emergency power outages were introduced in Kyiv, Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Chernihiv, and Cherkasy regions. The reason was a difficult situation in the power system due to Russian shelling. In the specified regions, previously published hourly schedules are temporarily not in effect.

Earlier, DTEK company reported emergency outages in part of Svyatoshynskyi, Shevchenkivskyi, and Podilskyi districts of Kyiv, and later also in the territory of Kyiv region.
According to the Ministry of Energy, since the beginning of the week, from November 2, Russian troops have carried out 78 targeted strikes on energy infrastructure of Ukraine. First Deputy Minister of Energy Artem Nekrasov reported that due to significant damage to energy equipment, the situation in Kyiv and Kyiv region remains difficult, so network restrictions are forced there.
In addition, on the morning of November 5, new blackouts were recorded in Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv regions due to Russian shelling. Emergency restoration work is ongoing in the affected regions, which is complicated by the threat of repeated attacks. In most regions of Ukraine, hourly power outages are also applied, and for industry, capacity limitation schedules.
