Power workers in the Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk regions are dealing with the aftermath of a massive Russian attack on energy infrastructure, which left most consumers in the two regions, including regional centers, without power.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Zaporizhzhia Oblast<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

At around 10:00 pm on January 7, as a result of a massive enemy drone attack, the Zaporizhzhia region was completely without power.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ivan Fedorov, head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Administration, reported that power engineers restored power to key facilities on the night of January 8. In the morning, Andriy Stasevsky, head of Zaporizhzhiaoblenergo, announced the full restoration of power supply in the Ukrainian-controlled territory of the region.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to him, emergency restoration work began immediately after the attack and continued throughout the night. Power workers focused primarily on repairing critical infrastructure, particularly heating and water supply systems. In less than seven hours, power was restored to residents of the region and the regional center.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

All boiler houses in the Zaporizhzhia region have been provided with power and are operating normally. The reconnection of generators to the centralized grid has also been completed, and heat continues to flow to homes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ukrzaliznytsia reported that train service in Zaporizhzhia has resumed as usual.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Commenting on the situation, Ivan Fedorov thanked emergency and utility services for their coordinated work, and the region’s residents for their fortitude and mutual support.<\/p>\n

Dnipropetrovsk region<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Acting Head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Department, Vladislav Gaivanenko, reported that as of the morning of January 8, part of the region remains without power. Power restoration efforts are ongoing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

DTEK noted that on the evening of January 7, as a result of the Russian attack, power outages occurred in certain areas of the region and in the city of Dnipro.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ukrzaliznytsia reported that stations in Dnipro and the surrounding region are running on generators. While many passengers are at the “Points of Invincibility,” there are sufficient supplies of electricity and hot drinks.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dnipro Mayor Boris Filatov announced that the city will use buses to compensate for the city’s electric transit needs as much as possible this morning. To this end, the city has increased the number of buses on its routes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As a reminder, Russia shelled the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions<\/a> with drones. As a result of the prolonged and massive attack, which began midday on January 7, power outages continue.<\/p>\n
