Emergency power outages caused by night Russian attack canceled in two Ukrainian oblasts
Emergency power outages, imposed after Russian overnight strikes, have been canceled in Kharkiv and Poltava oblasts, Ukraine's national energy company Ukrenergo wrote on Oct. 3.
The strikes, which targeted energy facilities in several oblasts, caused damage to equipment and led to power outages for some consumers. To prevent equipment overload and reduce voltage in local energy networks, emergency outages were introduced in parts of Kharkiv and Poltava oblasts at 10:15 a.m.
These restrictions have now been lifted.
Russian forces launched 105 Shahed drones across Ukraine overnight on Oct. 3. Ukrainian air defenses destroyed 78 of them, with one drone heading toward Belarus and 23 being "lost" in different Ukrainian oblasts, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The strikes also affected Ivano-Frankivsk, Khmelnytskyi, Poltava, and Kyiv oblasts. About 15 drones were shot down in the capital, with no reported casualties.
Ukraine's Energy Ministry reported power outages in eight oblasts due to the attacks, which also affected railway services and mines.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
