UKRAINE, Nov. 9 — Emergency power outages have been implemented in the Kharkiv oblast because of the situation in Ukraine’s unified energy grid following Russian attacks, Kharkivoblenergo, a municipal energy company, reported.

According to Artem Nekrasov, Deputy Minister of Energy of Ukraine, Russian forces attacked energy and oil and gas infrastructure all over Ukraine 128 times during last week.

Nekrasov said that last week Russian attacks left customers in the Vinnytsia, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Zhytomyr, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Odesa, Poltava, Rivne, Kharkiv, Khmelnytskyi, and Chernihiv regions without electricity this morning.

As for now, the hardest situation is in the Dnipropetrovsk and Kyiv regions, he added.

“Repairs are ongoing. Constant air raid alerts complicate them, but as soon as the alert is over, the crews immediately return to repairing the damaged equipment,” Nekrasov said.

The Deputy Minister also said that a Russian drone attacked an electricians’ service car and injured three workers in the Sumy oblast.
