KYIV: All Ukrainian regions will experience temporary restrictions on power on Monday (Nov 18) following Russia's massive air strike on the energy system, the national grid operator said.
Firefighters put out the fire following a Russian rocket attack in Odesa region Ukraine , Sunday, Nov 17, 2024. KYIV: All Ukrainian regions will experience temporary restrictions on power on Monday following Russia's massive air strike on the energy system, the national grid operator said.
The extent of the damage was hard to assess because authorities reveal little about the outcome of strikes and the state of the energy grid, which Russia had targeted in an air campaign earlier this year. Firefighters work at the site of a residential area hit by a Russian missile strike, amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, in Lviv region, Ukraine on Nov 17, 2024. With the harsh Ukrainian winter fast approaching, the country is already suffering from major energy shortfalls, while its outmanned and outgunned forces have been steadily ceding ground to the Kremlin's troops for weeks.
Besides the capital Kyiv's region, Ukraine's grid operator DTEK also announced power cuts in the Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions in the east, where Russia's army has claimed the capture of dozens of villages in recent weeks. In the western Lviv region, relatively spared from the conflict, a cruise missile strike killed a 66-year-old woman and wounded two others, said military administration chief Makdym Kozytsky.
