Russian attack hits Kyiv energy facility, leaving parts of four districts without power, low water pressure
Kyiv Independent staff in the capital reported explosions and widespread fluctuations in power, with some buildings and streetlights temporarily losing electricity.
A Russian attack targeted an energy facility in Kyiv on October 30, resulting in power outages affecting parts of four districts, according to Ukrainian energy company DTEK. The capital city, home to over 3 million people, experienced disruptions to electricity and water supply, as reported by Kyiv Independent staff. The Obolonskyi, Darnytskyi, Desnianskyi, and Podilskyi districts were impacted, with some buildings and streetlights temporarily losing electricity.
Mayor Vitali Klitschko announced on Telegram that the Left Bank of the city was without water due to three drone strikes hitting critical infrastructure facilities. The extent of the damage and casualties remain unconfirmed. This attack follows Russian missile and drone strikes on Kyiv overnight on October 29-30, which claimed at least one life and damaged residential and commercial buildings, leaving around 350,000 residents in and around Dnipro without power.
Russia has consistently targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure as the nation prepares for winter, causing power facilities to suffer damage and prompting emergency electricity restrictions.
