As is known, on the night of 12 September, an impact on local infrastructure was recorded in the temporarily occupied territory of Donetsk region.
According to preliminary information, Sniezhne experienced a strike on an energy system facility, resulting in a power outage in the settlement.
Also, on the night of 11 September, Russian occupiers’ facilities were struck in the occupied city of Shakhtarsk in Donetsk region.
A munitions depot was hit, where a prolonged secondary detonation occurred after the impact.
Earlier reports said parts of temporarily occupied Donetsk, Horlivka, Makiivka, Yasynuvata, and several other settlements were left without power.
Similar disruptions and mass power outages in the Russian-occupied territories of Donetsk region have recently become a systemic phenomenon.
Prior to this, in temporarily occupied Donetsk more than 117 thousand subscribers were left without power. This was reported by the so-called mayor of the city, Oleksiy Kulemzin.
According to him, the large-scale outages affected Petrovskyi, Kirovskyi, Kuibyshevskyi, and Proletarskyi districts.
In addition, temporarily occupied Melitopol is experiencing a large-scale blackout.
The city has no electricity at all, forcing local residents to find any means and alternative sources to charge their phones.
Recall 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 announced by the Russia-appointed heads of the occupation administrations — Volodymyr Saldo and Yevhen Balytskyi on Telegram.
For the record, a similar large-scale blackout in the occupied territories of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions was recorded earlier — at that time the cause was also named as a drone attack on high-voltage equipment.
