Thousands of Ukrainians were left without power over the past 24 hours after Russian troops targeted civilian energy infrastructure in five Ukrainian regions: Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Kherson, according to the Ministry of Energy.
In Donetsk, shelling disrupted power supply to substations, with the impact felt by households, businesses and even the railway operator. The communities dealt with temporary train delays. Local officials said they have restored electricity in the area soon after. Meanwhile, attacks damaged power lines in Chernihiv, cutting off electricity to 404 consumers in four communities.
The ongoing fighting saw at least 578 communities dealing with power supply disruptions. In addition to combat-related issues, severe weather conditions factored in knocking out electricity in 27 communities in Kyiv suburbs, 23 in Khmelnytskyi, 12 in Chernihiv, 11 in Dnipropetrovsk, seven in Odesa, five in Poltava, and one in Mykolaiv regions.
Technical failures also caused outages for customers in Odesa, Poltava, Sumy, and Lviv regions.
On Monday, repair teams have helped restore power to 379,901 consumers who had been affected by combat, weather, and technical faults over the past day.
