## Key Points

- Following new Russian strikes, power outages were recorded in 12 Ukrainian regions
- The energy infrastructure of Dnipropetrovsk and Kyiv regions suffered the greatest damage
- On the night of November 8 in Dnipropetrovsk region, over 600,000 consumers in five districts and Dnipro were left without power
- The number of regions with outages is growing: 8 (Oct 23), 3 (Oct 29), 9 (Nov 2), 12 (by Nov 9)

Residents of 12 regions at once have felt the consequences of new Russian strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. This was announced in a statement provided to RBC-Ukraine by Artem Nekrasov, First Deputy Minister of Energy of Ukraine. According to him, Russian forces attacked energy facilities in several regions, and as of morning, power outages were recorded in Vinnytsia, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Zhytomyr, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Odesa, Poltava, Rivne, Kharkiv, Khmelnytskyi, and Chernihiv regions.

### Scale of outages and most affected regions

According to the Deputy Minister, the energy infrastructure of Dnipropetrovsk and Kyiv regions suffered the greatest damage, which is why the electricity supply situation remains the most difficult in these regions. On the night of November 8, Dnipropetrovsk region came under attack: more than 600,000 consumers in five districts of the region and in Dnipro were left without electricity. Already on November 8, against the background of the attack consequences, emergency outages were in effect in several regions — in particular, Kharkiv, Poltava, and Sumy regions, while network restrictions continued to apply in Kyiv and Kyiv region.

### Chronology of escalating attacks

In recent days, Russian troops have significantly intensified strikes on Ukraine's energy sector, and the dynamics of outages confirm this escalation. Back on October 23, according to specialized publications, consumers in eight regions remained without electricity, on October 29 in three regions (Donetsk, Sumy, and Kharkiv), and by the morning of November 2, the number of regions with outages grew to nine. By November 9, this figure reached twelve regions, indicating the expansion of the geography and intensity of attacks on the energy infrastructure.

### Work of energy workers

Energy workers, as noted in the ministry, are working around the clock to eliminate the consequences of Russian strikes and restore stable power supply to consumers as soon as possible. At the same time, in regions with the most serious damage, the risk of repeated emergency outages remains, and in certain cities, network restrictions are applied to balance the load on the damaged grid.
