Russia launched a massive strike on energy: over a million subscribers without electricity

Last night, the enemy dealt painful blows to the Ukrainian energy sector. Currently, over a million subscribers are without electricity. Russian forces launched rockets and drones at five regions: Dnipropetrovsk, Kirovohrad, Mykolaiv, Odesa, and Chernihiv. Five people were injured, but fortunately, there were no fatalities.

“During the night and morning, we are holding meetings of the Coordination Headquarters to respond quickly to the consequences of the attack. I systematically report to the President and the Prime Minister about the situation,” noted Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko.

The approved algorithms for responding to emergencies allow for quicker actions: optimizing the involvement of forces, accelerating fire extinguishing, and minimizing the consequences of the attack. Rescuers have already extinguished 14 fires, and the liquidation of two more is ongoing. The most challenging situation with electricity supply is in Odesa and Mykolaiv.

Due to the threat of repeated strikes, emergency workers were forced to suspend firefighting. For safety, they are using remote firefighting – robotic technology and foam generators. The head of the agency thanked police officers, rescuers, guards, energy workers, and communal services for hope for light during Russian terror.

Ukrainian energy has suffered from strikes by Russian hostile groups, which directed rockets and drones at five regions of the country, causing interruptions in electricity supply for over a million subscribers. Despite the injuries of five individuals, it was possible to avoid casualties thanks to the prompt actions of law enforcement and rescue services. Systematic and prompt response to emergencies has minimized the consequences of the attack and quickly eliminated the aftermath of aggression.
