On the night of November 13, Russian forces again attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure. The main targets were high-voltage substations. As a result of the strikes, damage and destruction were recorded in nine regions, and power outages affected a much larger number of regions.
This was reported by Prime Minister Serhiy Koretskyi.
According to NEC "Ukrenergo", due to the consequences of the Russian attacks, part of consumers were left without electricity in 12 regions of Ukraine.
In particular, power outages were recorded in Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Zhytomyr, Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Rivne, Sumy, Kharkiv, Khmelnytskyi and Chernihiv regions.
At the same time, the government's report on damage in nine regions concerns the direct consequences of the night strikes on infrastructure facilities. The list of regions with power outages is broader, since disruptions in the power system can affect electricity supply beyond the territories where strikes occurred.
Due to equipment damage on November 13, in some regions, schedules of hourly outages ranging from 1.5 to 3 stages continue to apply. For industrial enterprises, capacity limitation schedules are also being applied.
As noted in "Ukrenergo", emergency restoration works are ongoing in all affected regions where the security situation allows. Energy workers are working around the clock to repair damaged equipment and restore power supply.
The situation in the power system remains difficult due to repeated Russian strikes. Therefore, the extent and duration of restrictions may change depending on the state of the networks and the progress of restoration works.
Consumers are advised to check current schedules on the official websites and pages of their distribution system operators. Local regional power companies publish information about outage hours for specific addresses.
Recall that the day before, Russia also struck Ukraine's energy facilities. According to the Ministry of Energy, on November 12, power outages were recorded in nine regions, and in Poltava region four workers of the energy sector were injured.
