As a result of a massive missile and drone strike by the Russian Federation on Ukraine's energy system, as of this morning, Kherson, the Kherson region, and parts of Mykolaiv Oblast remain without power. Energy workers are operating around the clock to mitigate the effects of the attack.
This information was reported by RBK-Ukraine citing the press service of "Ukrenergo."
According to preliminary forecasts, power supply is expected to be restored for all consumers in the affected areas by the end of the current day.
On the morning of November 28, Russian occupiers launched yet another attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. A total of 91 missiles and 97 drones were fired, most of which were successfully intercepted by air defense forces.
The Air Forces reported 12 hits, primarily targeting facilities in the fuel and energy sector. According to the State Emergency Service, infrastructure in Rivne, Lviv, Kirovohrad, Kyiv, Volyn, Khmelnytskyi, Ivano-Frankivsk, Mykolaiv, and Vinnytsia Oblasts sustained damage.
Due to the aftermath of the massive attack, Ukraine has intensified its power outage schedules. In particular, Kherson has been without electricity for the second day following the extensive attack by Russia on the energy sector, as critical infrastructure could not be restored.
Additionally, there was a power line break in Mykolaiv Oblast.
