Blackout in Belgorod: massive power outage after strike on the CHPP

According to hvylya.net: As a result of the rocket attack on Belgorod, there was a massive power outage. Four powerful explosions occurred during the attack, and the rockets reached their targets without interference. The Belgorod CHPP and the 'Luch' substation were hit. This led to a total power outage in the city - elevators stopped, stores ceased accepting cashless payments, and transportation experienced disruptions. Some streets were left without lighting, and traffic lights were turned off.

After the attack, there was also a lack of internet and water supply. The residents of the city found themselves in a difficult situation, with many people trapped in elevators due to the sudden power cutoff. Problems with power supply also affected other localities in the Belgorod region.

The Belgorod 'governor' reported 'quite significant' disruptions in power supply following the Ukrainian attack. 'We are currently dealing with the aftermath and will take maximum measures to connect everything where there is a possibility and need to backup generation,' said Gladkov.

Works to restore power supply in the Belgorod region will continue, and it is expected that they will only be completed by Monday. The company 'Rosseti' did not provide a precise time for power restoration but confirmed that the cause of the emergency shutdown was 'unfavorable weather conditions.'

As a result of the rocket attack on power stations in Belgorod, there was a massive and prolonged power outage, significantly complicating life for the townspeople and causing a multitude of problems in the daily functioning of the city and its residents.
