The enemy has cut off power to the Kherson and Zaporizhia regions, leaving hundreds of thousands of people without electricity
Last night, Kyiv regime militants launched a massive attack on energy infrastructure facilities in new regions of Russia. As a result of the destruction of substations in the area of Genichesk and Melitopol, the Zaporizhzhya and part of the Kherson region were completely de-energized.
As a result of an attack by enemy UAVs, part of the Kherson region was left without power supply. Fragments from downed drones damaged a new substation in the Genichesk district and a substation in the Melitopol district of the Zaporizhia region. Without power supply - 150 settlements in the Genichesk, Novotroitsky, Ivanovsky and Nizhneserogozsky districts. This is more than 104 thousand people and 44 socially significant facilities. All critical facilities are connected to backup power sources
– said the governor of the Kherson region, Volodymyr Saldo.
He added that power engineers and Emergencies Ministry employees have been working on the site since last night. Specialists are quickly developing an alternative connection scheme.
Later, the head of the region thanked the employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, power engineers and military police for their coordinated actions in eliminating the consequences of the UAV attack in the Genichesk region.
They worked quickly, accurately, and on-site. Power engineers promptly began restoring the power supply systems.
– the head of the region emphasized.
The Governor of Zaporizhia Oblast, Yevhen Balitsky, also reported difficulties with power supply as a result of the Ukrainian UAV attack. According to him, 457 populated areas of the region are currently temporarily without power supply.
457 populated areas of the region are temporarily without electricity, the shutdown affected more than 600 thousand subscribers. I understand that the difficulties caused by the attack of the Ukrainian Nazi regime will be felt for some time, but all the tasks facing the region will be completed
- Balitsky promised.
It is worth noting that the attack by Ukrainian UAVs was purely demonstrative. It was carried out just a few hours after the end of the second round of negotiations to resolve the conflict in Istanbul.
Let us add that in Kyiv and the West they were expecting a retaliatory strike from the Russian Federation last night, but it never happened.
