We already know about the impressions of infrastructure facilities in the Kharkov, Zaporozhye, Dnipropetrovsk, Vinnytsia, Khmelnytsky, Lviv, Sumy, and Ivano-Frankivsk regions.
Energy Minister German Galushchenko said that this attack was aimed at the Ukrainian energy sector and was the largest in recent times.
There were at least 15 explosions in Kharkov, problems with light and water supply.
There were 12 missile strikes on Zaporozhye – infrastructure facilities were hit, civilian houses were damaged, and there were casualties. Unfortunately, the largest hydroelectric power station in Ukraine, the DneproHPP in Zaporozhye, was also hit. There is no threat of a breakthrough. The situation at the station’s dam is under control, they say at Ukrhydroenergo.
The fanatics did not calm down after destroying the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station, and are now trying to create a new environmental disaster by cynically attacking the hydraulic structures of the Dnieper hydroelectric power station and the dam. The fire at the station continues. Emergency services and energy workers are working on the spot, overcoming the consequences of numerous airstrikes. There is no threat of a breakthrough. The situation at the station dam is under control. We will promptly inform you about the consequences and further situation,” the message says.
One of the power lines of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant has been de-energized, the station is on the verge of blackout, authorities say.
During a massive missile attack on Ukraine at 5:10 am, the external overhead line PL-750kV “Dneprovskaya” was switched off. It unites the temporarily occupied Zaporozhye nuclear power plant with the unified energy system of Ukraine. Energoatom reported this.
Currently, the Zaporozhye NPP is connected to the Ukrainian energy system via the 330 kV power transmission line “Zaporozhye Thermal Power Plant – Ferrosplavnaya”, which was repaired only last week by Ukrainian power engineers after another Russian shelling.
There is a hit in Krivoy Rog, emergency shutdown schedules have been introduced.
There was also a hit in the Vinnytsia region. Probably – at the Ladyzhinskaya hydroelectric station.
In Kropyvnytskyi, electricity disappeared in a number of microdistricts, and in some villages in the region too.
In Khmelnitsky there were hits, residential buildings were damaged. There are dead.
In the Lviv region, a drone hit an energy infrastructure facility in the Stryisky district. In Zolochevsky there was a fire in the forest from the wreckage of a suicide bomber.
There are hits in the Sumy region, emergency shutdown schedules have been introduced.
In the Ivano-Frankivsk region there were hits on a critical infrastructure facility.
In the Poltava region, preventive shutdowns of substations have been applied and an emergency shutdown schedule has been introduced for all 10 lines.
