The regional governor, Vitalii Bunechko, reported on the power outages without disclosing any casualty figures. Energy personnel are working tirelessly to restore electrical services to affected residents. On October 25, Russian forces also targeted Zhytomyr Oblast with drone strikes, causing damage to an energy facility, outpatient clinic, residential structure, and private enterprise in Korosten and Zhytomyr districts. The Russian aerial assault on November 1 began at 6 p.m. on October 31, involving 433 strike drones. These included 64 jet-powered Shaheds, Gerberas, and Parodiya decoy drones. The strikes were documented at 16 locations, with debris from downed drones found at 14 sites. Following the Russian attacks, emergency power interruptions were implemented in Kyiv. Additionally, almost 100,000 households in Dnipro, Pavlohrad, and Samara districts of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast continue to lack power, while energy facilities and a mobile communications tower were targeted in Vinnytsia Oblast.",
