Electricity and gas supply disrupted in Kherson as a result of Russian shelling

New gas supply disruptions have occurred as a result of nighttime hostile shelling of the Kherson community.

According to the press service of the Kherson MVA, due to significant damage to a section of the gas pipeline, part of the Naddnipryansky starosta district is without gas.

Experts are currently examining the extent of the damage to ensure that emergency repairs can be carried out quickly.

Also in Kherson, the specialists of Khersonoblenergo JSC disconnected some of the power equipment to carry out emergency repairs. As a result, from 10:00 to 15:00, there was no power supply in the Dniprovsky district of the city (Kherson Paper Mill district). Due to the power outage in the Dniprovsky district of Kherson from 10:00 to 15:00, some trolleybus routes, including #12 and #8, will temporarily stop working.

The occupiers continue to target critical infrastructure. As a result of another drone attack, electrical equipment was damaged and must be replaced. It is impossible to carry out these works in the near future due to the extremely tense security situation. Currently, about 10,000 metering points in the Dniprovskyi district of Kherson are de-energized. In total, according to the Ministry of Energy, 45 settlements with more than 25,000 consumers remain without electricity supply on the right bank of Kherson region. In Kherson, more than 12 thousand customers have no electricity.

Earlier it was reported that Khersonoblenergo specialists had restored power supply in Tavriyske and Nova Zorya, where residents had been without electricity for more than a year. For example, after the de-occupation of Bilozershchyna, the restoration of electricity supply in Pravdyne village was complicated by the lack of transport links. When the occupiers retreated, they destroyed a bridge over an irrigation canal, thus isolating the locals. People could not receive emergency aid or humanitarian supplies.

It was also reported that the electricity supply was restored in the village of Borozenske in Kherson region. 589 subscribers were connected to the power grid.
