Earlier, Kyiv said it had intercepted more than 60 of the nearly 70 missiles fired by the Russians.
Ukraine’s power grid operator Ukrenergo has warned this evening that there will be emergency power outages across the country due to new Russian strikes.
“Due to the consequences of the bombings (…) to maintain the balance between production and consumption, a system of emergency holidays will be implemented in all regions of Ukraine. Electricity will be given priority to basic infrastructure,” the company announced via Telegram.
“The situation is difficult, but under control,” Ukrenergo added.
Earlier, Kyiv said it had intercepted more than 60 of the nearly 70 missiles fired by the Russians.
However, “some power plants will not be able to operate fully for some time” and “combined with the frost that will intensify over the next 24 hours, this will lead to a system deficit,” the company explained.
The operation to restore the damage is ongoing, Ukrenergo assured.
The Russian armed forces admitted that there was “a massive strike with high-precision weapons” at around 12 noon today, targeting Ukrainian army positions and energy infrastructure linked to Ukrainian forces.
Russia began hitting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure in October, causing major blackouts in several regions. Last Friday Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russian attacks on these infrastructures were “inevitable”.
