Russian strikes on the energy infrastructure of the Odesa region, carried out on the evening of November 10 and the morning of November 11, left about 135,000 consumers without electricity. This was reported by Oleh Kiper, head of the Odesa Regional Military Administration, who emphasized that «the enemy continues to attack the energy infrastructure of the Odesa region.» A 70-year-old woman, who was hospitalized in extremely critical condition with numerous injuries, died as a result of the attack.
Scale of outages and affected zones
According to the regional military administration, damage to energy facilities led to emergency power cuts in several districts of the region. Consumers in parts of Bolhrad, Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi, and Odesa districts remain without power — totaling about 135,000 people. It is these territories that found themselves in the zone of the most serious disruption due to the destruction of power system facilities during the night and morning strikes.
Restoration progress and measures for the population
Repair crews from Ukrenergo and DTEK Odesa Power Grids are already working to eliminate the consequences of the attack. During the repair work, local authorities opened additional Invincibility Points to provide residents with warmth, device charging, and basic conditions during the outages. The priority is to restore power supply in the affected areas of the Bolhrad, Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi, and Odesa districts.
Victim of the attack: from wounded to deceased
Initially, the head of the RMA reported that one person was injured in the strike and was receiving medical assistance. Later, the information was clarified: the victim was a 70-year-old woman who was hospitalized in extremely critical condition with multiple injuries. Doctors, according to the authorities, fought for her life until the last moment, but failed to save her — she died.
Context of the nationwide night attack
The strikes on the Odesa region were part of a massive night attack: on the night of November 11, Russia used 163 drones and one Kh-59/69 guided air missile against Ukraine. As of 08:00, air defense forces destroyed or suppressed 144 targets, while hits were recorded at 17 locations across the country. Thus, a significant portion of the attack weapons was shot down, but a number of facilities nevertheless sustained damage.
Kryvyi Rih: parallel attack on critical infrastructure
In addition to the Odesa region, Kryvyi Rih was subjected to a massive drone attack on the evening of November 10, where the enemy purposefully attacked critical infrastructure facilities. The city was partially left without electricity, and apartment buildings, schools, and kindergartens sustained damage. These events confirm the consistent tactic of striking energy and social facilities in several regions simultaneously.
