More than 600,000 consumers in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region lost electricity in Russian attacks on the power system in the early hours of November 8, according to the energy company DTEK and the head of the regional administration, Oleksandr Hanzha, quoted by Ukrainska Pravda. Hanzha named the Dnipro, Kamianske, Samar, Pavlohrad and Synelnykove districts.
DTEK reported damage to critical energy facilities in the region. Hospitals and other critical infrastructure are switching to generators, according to Ukrainska Pravda. The company added, according to UNN and Censor.net, that repairs are being hampered by repeated attacks and that the priority is to restore power to critical infrastructure.
The outage comes after more than 60,000 consumers in the city of Dnipro lost supply the previous night in other attacks, according to Hanzha. UNN reported scheduled hourly outages in parts of several Ukrainian regions on November 8.
DTEK has not given a timeframe for restoring service.
