Overview
- Ukraine’s grid operator reported fresh outages in six regions after energy facilities were damaged, with Chernihiv’s Novhorod-Siverskyi district left without power due to a hit on a key site.
- Kyiv moved to emergency power cuts as the system strained, triggering heating shortfalls and water supply interruptions across parts of the city, according to YASNO and Kyivvodokanal.
- Zaporizhzhia authorities said 13,750 customers remain without electricity, citing heavy ice damage to lines and the risk of drone strikes near the line of contact, with generators deployed in Vasylivka.
- Power losses also disrupted mobile service and water delivery across parts of Donbas and nearby areas, while Luhansk’s energy ministry later reported full restoration to previously disconnected consumers.
- In Russia’s Kursk region, most customers in four border districts regained electricity after a drone strike on an energy facility, as other regions worked through separate utility breakdowns and investigators opened a criminal case over heating failures in Murmansk oblast.
