Overview
- A localized truce took effect near the Zaporizhzhia nuclear site to enable work on the damaged 330 kV Ferosplavna-1 transmission line.
- Demining began Friday, with technicians expected to start repairs Saturday and target reconnection within days.
- Re-energizing Ferosplavna-1 would restore limited grid redundancy alongside the 750 kV Dniprovska line.
- The Dniprovska connection resumed on 23 October after a month-long outage, while extra damage outside earlier work zones delayed Ferosplavna-1.
- IAEA teams will monitor the operation, and Director General Rafael Grossi warns the plant’s nuclear safety remains precarious without reliable off-site power.
