Kamikaze drone attacks on Ukraine intensify: Russia accused of crippling energy sector
As the company's report highlighted, "repair crews were twice called upon to restore power within the day". While repair work on the core and distribution network remains underway, normal power supply has been re-established, as reported by Ukrenergo on Sunday.
"Last summer's comprehensive preparatory work enabled our employees to curtail the impact of the drone attacks dramatically. These were the inaugural power outages of the heating season, which is already two-thirds over," Ukrenergo posted on Facebook.
"The Russians' objective is clear"
"Saturday witnessed the third attack within a week and marked one of the gravest of the year. It's a stark reminder that the adversary has never ceased efforts to reinitiate the energy terror launched in 2022. The mission of the Russians is apparent - it is to exercise terror on the civilian populace, causing complications for the industrial sector and the economy," it was emphasised.
The assault resulted in a power outage in two boiler houses and led to a power cut for 7,500 customers. As evening drew in, parts of Kryvyi Rih districts and five adjacent municipalities experienced an electricity blackout due to network overload.
