Emergency power outages introduced in Kyiv following missile strikes

Critical state of energy system after night strikes

The aftermath of Russia's night attack on energy infrastructure in Kyiv and Zhytomyr regions has led to an extremely difficult situation with power supply in the capital. As Vitali Klitschko noted, the situation with the capital's energy supply is extremely complex. Failures in the energy system have negatively affected the operation of heat and water supply systems in Kyiv.

Emergency mode of grid operation

At 07:05 on the morning of 7 November, emergency power outages were introduced in Kyiv. This was announced in the YASNO app. The company explained that to balance the energy system, power is being cut in larger volumes than provided for by standard schedules. The operation of regular outage schedules has been suspended for the time being. YASNO representatives promised to inform users as soon as the situation stabilises.

Details of missile attack and casualties

During the night, Russian forces attacked Kyiv three times with ballistic missiles. The first strike was recorded as early as the evening of 6 November. According to Vitali Klitschko, during the second attack, the enemy targeted infrastructure facilities in the suburbs of the capital. As a result of the strikes, three people were injured in the Solomianskyi district of Kyiv, including a child.
