Zaporizhzhia Outages Leave 41,843 Without Power After Strikes, Governor Says

Regional authorities project full restoration by the end of the week following around-the-clock repairs.

Overview

Governor Evgeny Balitsky reports 41,843 subscribers remain offline across Mykhailivskyi, Vasylivskyi, Tokmaksky and part of Kamensko‑Dniprovske districts.
The regional administration attributes the damage to recent attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, including reported UAV strikes.
Grid operators are using rolling outages to stabilize the system and support phased reconnections.
Critical services are connected to backup power, with generators maintaining water supply and essential infrastructure.
Officials describe the situation as difficult but controlled, noting repairs have reduced earlier outages from about 66,000 and setting a goal of full recovery by week’s end.
