- Repeated strikes disrupt power supplies in Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk region as restoration efforts remain dependent on security conditions.
DNIPRO, Ukraine – More than 60,000 electricity consumers in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro were left without power on the evening of November 7 following renewed Russian attacks on the region’s energy infrastructure, according to the head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration, Oleksandr Ganzha.
In a statement, Ganzha confirmed that repeated Russian strikes on energy facilities had caused widespread electricity disruptions, affecting tens of thousands of consumers across the city.
“More than 60,000 consumers in Dnipro were left without electricity due to repeated Russian attacks on the energy sector,” Ganzha said.
He added that repair and restoration operations would begin as soon as the security situation permitted, highlighting the challenges facing emergency and energy crews working under continued security threats.
Continued Attacks on Ukraine’s Energy Infrastructure
The latest disruption comes amid an intensified campaign of Russian attacks targeting energy infrastructure across the Dnipropetrovsk region since October 29.
On October 30, emergency power outages were introduced in Dnipro and surrounding areas, while electricity disruptions also forced the suspension of almost all electric public transport services in the city.
Despite the continuing attacks, Ukrainian energy workers managed to restore electricity supplies to approximately 820,000 households across the Dnipropetrovsk region by November 2, following earlier large-scale damage to the power system.
The latest strikes once again highlight the vulnerability of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and the challenges of maintaining essential public services amid the ongoing conflict.
