Details: A Russian drone also struck a service vehicle belonging to energy workers in Kharkiv Oblast; there were no casualties.

"Energy workers are doing everything possible to bring electricity back to all consumers as quickly as possible. Repair work is ongoing around the clock," the Ministry of Energy stated.

As of 10:00, no power outages are forecast. Any changes to electricity supply will be announced on the official resources of regional distribution system operators.

The ministry also called on consumers to shift active energy consumption to daytime hours – between 10:00 and 16:00 – and to use electricity sparingly during evening hours, between 18:00 and 22:00, in order to reduce the load on the energy system and avoid outages.

Background: On the night of 9-10 June, Russia attacked Ukraine with 207 Shahed attack drones, including jet-powered variants, as well as Gerbera, Italmas, Banderol loitering munitions and Parodia decoy drones. Air defence downed and jammed 181, with strikes recorded at 14 locations.
