In Ukraine, due to Russian attacks on the energy sector, there were blackouts in six areas at night and on the morning of November 8, the Russian army launched new attacks on the Ukrainian energy system. This led to mass blackouts in the Danversk region, Zhytomyr, Rivne, Sumy, Kharkiv, Charnihiv, the country's energy ministry reported. The agency noted that it is carrying out restoration work, but it is significantly more complex than repeated attacks and constant air warnings. The worst situation was in the Dnipropetrovsk region, where a "significant number" of important electrical installations were damaged. As a result of the Russian attacks, about 600,000 consumers were left without electricity in Dnieper, Kamensky, Samarovsky, Pavlograd and Sandalnikov, said the head of the military government, Alexander Ganche. In the Kharkiv region, a Russian drone hit "an object of critical infrastructure", said the mayor of Zlatopol Nikolai Baksheev. According to him, as a result, about 250 thousand subscribers were released. In the Zhytomyr region, due to the Russian shells, 140 high-rise buildings were lost, President Vladimir Zelensky wrote. In Kiev, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Poltava and Sumy regions there are emergency materials. The situation in the metropolitan area is also described as difficult due to "significant damage" to the energy infrastructure. In addition, the Russian strikes led to the loss of external power supply to the occupied Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, the ministry said. According to him, because of this, the NPP switched to power from diesel generators. Since the beginning of the year there have been 16 such cases. Follow @moscowtimes ru buy a trusted VPN.
