Russian Drone Barrage Cuts Power to Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia

Forecast snow with -20°C nights threatens to worsen outages during a security‑delayed repair push.

Overview

  • Ukrenergo reported a large-scale drone strike on energy facilities that left most consumers in both regions without electricity.
  • Critical infrastructure in Dnipropetrovsk was damaged, and the governor said repairs will start once conditions are safe.
  • Zaporizhzhia restored electricity to main facilities, yet most households remain offline and water service has mostly resumed.
  • Hospitals and other vital services are operating on backup generators to maintain essential care.
  • Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko warned that severe winter weather could intensify strain on power and heating networks as crews work to restore service.
