Summary
More than 600,000 people lost electricity in Ukraine’s southeastern Dnipropetrovsk region after Russian strikes hit the power grid on Saturday, utility DTEK said.
Energy infrastructure damage in the Dnipro region was part of a broader overnight assault, with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy saying outages were widespread nationwide and repairs were underway in nearly every affected community.
The blackout followed a fresh wave of Russian attacks that had already disrupted power, heating and water services elsewhere, underscoring a renewed push against Ukraine’s energy system as winter approaches.
