More than 117 thousand subscribers in Donetsk left without power

In temporarily occupied Donetsk, more than 117 thousand subscribers found themselves without electricity. This was reported by the so-called mayor of the city, Oleksiy Kulemsin, according to Hlavcom.

According to him, large-scale outages affected the Petrovsky, Kirovsky, Kuibyshevsky, and Proletarsky districts. The lack of power is being attributed to the planned shutdown of 415 transformer substations.

The occupation administration has not yet announced timelines for restoring power.

As is known, temporarily occupied Melitopol has already been experiencing a large-scale blackout for the fifth consecutive day.

The city has no electricity at all, forcing local residents to look for any means and alternative sources to charge their phones.

Earlier it was reported that all settlements in the Russia-controlled part of Kherson region were left without power, and partial outages also occurred in the occupied territory of Zaporizhzhia region. This was reported by the Russia-appointed heads of the occupation administrations — Volodymyr Saldo and Yevhen Balytskyi on Telegram.

Recall that a similar large-scale blackout in the occupied territories of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions was recorded earlier — at that time the cause was also cited as a drone attack on high-voltage equipment.
