After Russian attack, part of Dnipro and Kamianske left without power

Russian troops once again attacked the energy infrastructure of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, damaging important equipment. As a result of the strike, large-scale power outages occurred, affecting a significant part of Dnipro and Kamianske, as well as critical infrastructure facilities.

This was reported on Monday evening, November 9, by the energy company DTEK.

According to the company, a significant part of consumers in two major cities of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast was left without electricity due to the attack. Also, critically important equipment and infrastructure were de-energized.

“The enemy damaged important energy equipment in the region. The attack caused large-scale outages in the oblast. A large part of Dnipro and Kamianske was left without power. Critical infrastructure was also de-energized,” — DTEK said in a statement.

Power engineers are working to restore electricity supply. The company stressed that specialists are making every effort to return electricity to consumers as soon as possible.

The new attack came amid ongoing Russian strikes on the energy infrastructure of Dnipropetrovsk region. Earlier on November 9, DTEK reported that over the weekend and Monday morning, Russian troops attacked about ten energy facilities of the company in the region.

As a result of previous shelling, equipment was damaged, and fires broke out at several facilities. Units of the State Emergency Service were involved in eliminating the consequences. The company noted that many of the damaged facilities had already been attacked repeatedly.

The electricity supply situation in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast remains difficult. Repeated strikes and air raid warnings are hampering restoration work. Power engineers begin repairs to damaged equipment as soon as the security situation allows.

DTEK has not yet provided specific timelines for the full restoration of electricity supply after the latest attack. Residents are advised to follow official announcements from the electricity grid operator regarding current restrictions and the restoration of power supply.
