On the night of Wednesday, November 11, Russian troops attacked six large electrical substations in four regions of Ukraine. As a result of new strikes on energy infrastructure, power outages occurred in eight regions, and electricity supply restrictions continue in parts of the country.

The scale of the attack was reported by Prime Minister of Ukraine Serhiy Koretsky.

According to him, Russian troops struck six large electrical substations in Vinnytsia, Kirovohrad, Zhytomyr, and Cherkasy regions.

In addition, power lines of various voltage classes were damaged in Kirovohrad and Rivne regions.

Besides energy facilities, railway infrastructure in Dnipropetrovsk and Zhytomyr regions came under Russian strikes. Detailed information on the extent of damage and possible restrictions on railway traffic has not been provided yet.

According to NEC "Ukrenergo", Russian attacks on energy facilities continued during the night and morning of November 11.

Due to equipment damage, as of the morning, consumers in eight regions were partially without electricity:

  • Dnipropetrovsk;

Electricity supply restrictions on November 11

Due to damage to energy equipment, capacity limitation schedules for industrial enterprises are forced to be applied in some regions until the end of the day.

For household and other categories of consumers, hourly outage schedules are provided, ranging from one to four stages depending on the situation in the region.

At the same time, emergency outage schedules were applied in the morning in Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions. Such restrictions may be introduced outside previously published hourly schedules.
