Ukrenergo details energy system status after Russia’s massive attack
As of the morning of Nov. 29, following the consequences of
Russia’s large-scale missile and drone attack on Nov. 28, parts of Ukraine’s
energy system remained offline, including Kherson, Mykolaiv oblasts and the
city of Kherson, according to the official Telegram
channel of Ukrenergo.
“Emergency recovery work continues around the clock. By the
end of the current day, energy workers plan to restore power to consumers in
the Kherson and Mykolaiv oblasts,” the message stated.
Additionally, Ukrenergo reported that Ukraine’s energy
system continues to recover from the missile and drone attack, but it still
faces a significant power deficit.
“Emergency repairs are underway at energy facilities. Hourly
power outages for residential consumers and scheduled power limits for industry
and businesses will be in place throughout the day (Nov. 29),” the state
company said.
Ukrenergo also reported that due to adverse weather
conditions, 14 settlements remained without power as of the morning of Nov. 29,
including 11 in Chernihiv Oblast and three in Volyn Oblast.
Massive strike on energy sector
On the night and morning of Nov. 28, Russia launched
missiles, including Kalibr, X-59/69, and X-101 from Tu-95MS bombers, as well as
strike drones, targeting 188 sites in total. Air defense systems downed 79
missiles and 35 drones. The primary target was Ukraine’s energy sector.
Damage to infrastructure was reported in Rivne, Zhytomyr,
Lutsk, Mykolaiv, and other cities, causing power and water supply disruptions.
Destruction was also reported in Ivano-Frankivsk, Volyn, Lviv, Sumy, and other
oblasts. In Vinnytsia, Odesa, and Kyiv oblasts, private homes were damaged by
missile strikes, and there were casualties.
In Kyiv, air defense repelled a missile and drone attack,
with debris falling in two districts on the left bank.
Later, Ukrenergo reported that the Russian forces had
launched their 11th massive missile and drone attack on Ukraine’s energy system
since the beginning of 2024. As a result, rolling blackouts were introduced
across Ukraine.
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.
