Russian Strike Cuts Power To Eight Mines In Dnipropetrovsk Region

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) This was reported at a briefing by Acting Energy Minister Artem Nekrasov, according to Ukrinform.

“As of this morning, around 800,000 consumers in the Dnipropetrovsk region remain without electricity. Repair work is ongoing to restore light and heat to residents. Social and critical infrastructure facilities are partially powered. Additionally, eight mines in the region were disconnected due to the strike,” Nekrasov said.

He added that all miners have been brought safely to the surface.

Electricity supply in the Zaporizhzhia region has been restored, but energy authorities are urging residents to limit the use of high-power appliances to prevent further large-scale outages.
