  "summary": "Russian forces have struck six major power substations in four Ukrainian oblasts, causing widespread power outages across the country. These attacks, which occurred overnight on November 10-11, not only damaged power lines but also disrupted electricity supplies, marking a second consecutive night of assaults on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi reported that substations in Vinnytsia, Kirovohrad, Zhytomyr, and Cherkasy oblasts were targeted, along with damage to power lines in Kirovohrad and Rivne oblasts. This escalation in attacks on critical energy infrastructure puts additional strain on Ukraine's power grid, especially as winter approaches and demand for electricity and heating typically rises. The Ukrainian state grid operator, Ukrenergo, reported outages affecting consumers in Dnipropetrovsk, Zhytomyr, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Rivne, Kharkiv, Odesa, and Chernihiv oblasts. Emergency repair crews are working to restore power, but emergency outages remain in effect in Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk oblasts. In response to the shortages, Kyiv has temporarily switched off municipal streetlights to conserve electricity for essential city facilities.",
