## Key Points

- Energy infrastructure strikes occurred on the night and morning of November 10, 2026
- Damage recorded in eight Ukrainian regions
- Power outages recorded in six regions as of morning
- Scheduled hourly power cuts of two to four stages introduced
- Emergency restoration work is ongoing 24/7 with safety precautions

On the night and morning of November 10, 2026, Russian forces launched strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. According to available data, damage was recorded in eight regions: Kyiv, Kharkiv, Sumy, Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk, Vinnytsia, Cherkasy, and Kirovohrad. The consequences of the attacks affected electricity supply to the population: as of the morning, power outages were recorded in the Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Kyiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv regions.

### Scale of Damage and Outages

As energy sector officials note, the strikes hit facilities in eight regions, but direct consumer power outages were recorded in six. The discrepancy between the number of damaged and blacked-out regions is explained by the fact that in some areas, backup capacities and power flows allowed for the maintenance of electricity supply, while in others — primarily in Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Kyiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv — supply was interrupted. In the morning, emergency power cuts were additionally applied in the Kyiv, Sumy, Poltava, and Kharkiv regions to stabilize the grid.

### Emergency Restoration Work

Energy workers are engaged in repairing damaged equipment around the clock. It is emphasized that work is being conducted in compliance with safety conditions: crews operate where the situation allows, and priority is given to facilities critical for the life-support of settlements. Restoration rates depend directly on how quickly damages can be localized and safe access to affected grid nodes can be secured.

### Consumption Restrictions and Shutdown Schedules

Due to the consequences of the attacks, electricity consumption restrictions are in effect in some regions until the end of the day. Furthermore, on November 10, scheduled hourly power outages in the volume of two to four stages were introduced across Ukraine for all categories of consumers. Such measures are applied to balance grid load under conditions of reduced generation and damage to power plants and transmission facilities.

### Context: Repeated Strikes Over Several Days

Energy attacks have been ongoing for days. Recall that on November 9, Russian forces damaged a vital energy facility in the Dnipropetrovsk region: as a result of the strike, a significant portion of Dnipro and Kamianske were left without power, and critical infrastructure facilities were also disconnected. Thus, the strikes on November 10 continued a multi-day series of attacks on energy infrastructure, which complicates restoration efforts and forces grid operators to apply additional restrictions to prevent cascading blackouts.
