Russia launched a massive missile attack on Ukraine. Therefore, emergency blackouts have been introduced in a number of areas. In particular, in Kyiv, Odessa and Cherkasy regions.
The Russian military launched a massive missile attack on Ukraine on March 9. The occupiers continued to hit energy infrastructure facilities. Unfortunately, there were also hits through which blackouts were introduced.
Emergency blackouts in some areas
We urge you to treat the situation with understanding. Energy officials are doing everything possible to eliminate the consequences of missile attacks on infrastructure.
Lights off in Odessa region
As noted in DTEK, emergency blackouts are being introduced in the Odessa region. We are talking about turning off the light without the use of hourly schedules.
The company notes that this is a forced preventive step. It will avoid serious damage to the energy infrastructure. Note that the occupiers, unfortunately, hit the energy facility in the region. This was confirmed in the Odessa OVA.
The electricity was switched off in the city as a preventive measure. So far, we cannot say that electric transport will operate by morning, but there will be movement around the city, – emphasized Serhiy Bratchuk, speaker of the OVA.
15% of Kyiv residents without electricity
Residents of Kyiv and the region were also warned about the introduction of emergency shutdowns. As Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko noted, technological blackouts in the capital were used. About 15% of consumers are without electricity.
Problems with light in Kharkiv and Zhytomyr
This was announced at about 04:15 by the mayor Igor Terekhov. He noted that the energy infrastructure of the city is under the gun. As a result, in some areas of Kharkiv, problems with light were recorded . The mayor of the city stressed that “we will stand and fix everything.”
Problems are also observed in Zhytomyr. Mayor Sergei Sukhomlin drew attention to the lack of water. He also noticed that most houses do not have electricity. All these are the consequences of a night attack by “Shaheeds” on the city. According to preliminary information, there were no casualties.
The head of the Cherkasy OVA, Igor Taburets, noted that measures were taken to cut off electricity in the region. According to him, power engineers are doing everything to save the energy system.
De-energized Zaporozhye NPP
This was stated in the Ministry of Energy. Energy Minister German Galushchenko noted that the occupiers damaged the last line that fed the ZNPP.
The station is currently running on diesel generators. The Russians are putting the world on the brink of a nuclear catastrophe. And this is the day after the negotiations with the UN on the demilitarization of the ZNPP,” he stressed.
The Minister also noted that as of 06:30 shelling of power facilities in Kiev, Nikolaev, Kharkov, Zaporozhye, Odessa, Dnepropetrovsk and Zhytomyr regions was recorded .
