  • On 7 January, Russia attacked critical infrastructure in Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia oblasts, causing emergency power outages.
  • It was reported that a significant number of consumers in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast were left without power in the morning as a result of a large-scale drone attack overnight.
  • In Zaporizhzhia Oblast, as of the morning of 8 January, boiler houses were powered up and reconnected from generators to centralised networks, and after a seven-hour blackout caused by the Russian attack, power supply was fully restored.
