Russia Hits Ukraine's Grid for a Second Straight Night: Six Major Substations Struck in Four Regions, Widespread Outages
Ukrainian Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi said on November 11 that Russian forces struck Ukraine's power system again overnight on November 10-11, hitting six major electrical substations in the Vinnytsia, Kirovohrad, Zhytomyr and Cherkasy regions and disrupting electricity supplies across the country.
Koretskyi said on Telegram that power lines were also damaged in the Kirovohrad and Rivne regions, that a district heating facility in the central city of Kryvyi Rih was struck, disrupting heating to homes, and that Russian forces also hit railway infrastructure in Ukraine's east and centre. Kyiv media reported at least 14 people injured in the overnight attacks.
State grid operator Ukrenergo reported outages affecting consumers in the Dnipropetrovsk, Zhytomyr, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Rivne, Kharkiv, Odesa and Chernihiv regions. It was the second consecutive night of major Russian strikes on Ukraine's grid; the previous night's attacks hit five major substations and killed two people in the Vinnytsia region.
