Russia launches massive overnight, morning strike on energy infrastructure across several regions – Ukrenergo

On October 14, Russia launched a significant missile assault on energy facilities across multiple regions, according to NPC Ukrenergo. The attack, occurring during the night and morning hours, led to power outages in several cities, including Kyiv, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Khmelnytsky, and Zaporizhia regions. Ukrenergo reported that emergency restoration efforts were underway in areas where security conditions allowed.

To manage the strain on damaged equipment, the company announced the implementation of capacity limitation schedules for industry and hourly outage schedules, potentially up to two queues, for all consumer categories. These measures would be enforced in certain regions until the end of the day. Ukrenergo urged consumers to stay informed through updates on their distribution system operators' websites and official social media channels, as the power grid situation could evolve due to ongoing Russian attacks on energy infrastructure.
