Details: The affected oblasts are Kyiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia. The Russian strikes targeted, among other places, civilian energy infrastructure facilities.

Emergency repair work has begun where security conditions allow. Energy workers are doing everything they can to bring power back to all affected consumers as quickly as possible.

Ukrenergo warned that the situation in the energy system may change and called on consumers to monitor updates from regional power distribution companies.
