Ukrenergo issues statement on energy system status
Russia has launched its 11th large-scale missile and drone
attack on Ukraine’s energy system since the start of the year.
This was reported by Ukrenergo on Telegram: “Energy workers are doing
everything possible to quickly restore equipment damaged by the enemy...
Overnight and in the morning, the enemy carried out another massive missile and
drone attack on Ukraine’s energy system, the 11th since the beginning of the
year. Energy facilities in several regions were damaged,” Ukrenergo stated.
The company also noted, “During the air raid, emergency
power outages were implemented and are still in effect. We remind you that
during emergency outages, previously announced hourly outage schedules do not
apply. Additional information will be provided when the emergency outages are
lifted... There is still a significant power deficit.
Emergency repairs are ongoing at energy facilities. Once the
emergency outages are lifted, updated information will be provided regarding
the schedule and scope of hourly power outages for residential consumers. Check
your region’s current outage schedule on the website or official pages of the
distribution system operator (Oblenergo).”
Earlier reports indicated that on Nov. 28, Russia launched
Kalibr and Kh-101 missiles from Tu-95MS bombers. The occupiers also deployed
attack drones against Ukraine.
The Energy Ministry reported a large-scale attack on energy
infrastructure across all regions, leading to emergency power outages.
In Kyiv, air defense systems intercepted all threats to the
capital. Debris fell in the Dniprovskyi and Darnytskyi districts, but no
casualties were reported.
Cities including Rivne, Zhytomyr, Kherson, Lviv, and
Mykolaiv experienced power and water supply disruptions.
Infrastructure damage was reported by the Kyiv Oblast
Military Administration (OVA), Ivano-Frankivsk OVA, Volyn OVA, Sumy OVA, and
other regions.
In Vinnytsia and Odesa oblasts, private homes were damaged by missile strikes, and several people were injured.
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.
