Bad weather leaves consumers without power in more than 600 settlements, Ukrenergo says
New power outages caused by Russian attacks were also reported in eight regions as of Thursday morning, according to Ukraine's grid operator.
Bad weather has left consumers without power in more than 600 settlements across Ukraine, either fully or partially, according to grid operator Ukrenergo, as reported by Ukrinform.
As of the morning of September 24, new power outages caused by Russian attacks were also reported in eight regions of the country, compounding the disruption caused by the adverse weather conditions.
The combination of weather-related damage and ongoing attacks on energy infrastructure has placed additional strain on Ukraine's power grid, which has faced repeated targeting throughout the conflict.
Ukrenergo did not specify in the report how long repairs to the affected settlements are expected to take or which regions were most severely impacted by the outages.
Ukraine's energy infrastructure has been a recurring target of Russian strikes, particularly as the country moves into the autumn and winter months when demand for heating and electricity typically rises.
