Damage to a 330 kW substation.
On November 8, 2026, approx. 9:20 p.m., a jet UAV hit the Luzerkovskaya 330 kW substation in the Kyiv region, hitting an AT-3 automatic transformer. Transformer oil ignited and caused a fire of about 50 square meters.
Video confirms the damage to the "VRP-330-110-AT3" unit, showing a strong flash and intense burning with scattering debris. It is a central trunk junction (commissioned in 1971) that converts the power from 330 kV to 110 kV for Belya Tsarkov and the local grid.
The destroyed AT-3 (200 MVA capacity) was the main link between the voltage levels. Its loss forces a redistribution of the load over the rest of the connections. The site has been modernized, but remains a critical infrastructure target.
