Ukraine’s Khmelnytskyi Oblast Governor Serhii Tiurin said a Russian strike damaged energy equipment in Shepetivka district on Nov. 11, triggering an emergency outage as crews worked to restore power.
Tiurin said a fire was reported at the site. Responders were working there as energy workers began restoration efforts, he said. He did not give the number of users affected or an estimate for when electricity would return.
The Shepetivka outage occurred later on Nov. 11, after separate overnight attacks elsewhere in Ukraine. Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi said six major substations in Vinnytsia, Kirovohrad, Zhytomyr and Cherkasy oblasts came under attack overnight. He also reported damage to power lines in Kirovohrad and Rivne. Ukrenergo reported partial outages in eight oblasts that morning following attacks on energy facilities.
Earlier in November, DTEK said an attack halted generation at three of its thermal power plants, a separate disruption EconoTimes previously covered. In Shepetivka, energy workers were continuing restoration efforts, but Tiurin gave no timeline for power to return.
