On the night of October 30, Russians massively attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure. As a result, emergency power outages were introduced in many regions, including Odesa Oblast.

According to the minister, as soon as the situation allows, rescuers, repair crews and power engineers will begin to eliminate the consequences of the attack, restore power supply and assess the damage.

Ukrenergo clarified that emergency blackouts are in effect in most regions and will continue until the power system is stabilized. Citizens were urged to use electricity sparingly.

According to DTEK, blackouts were also introduced in Kyiv, as well as in Kyiv, Odesa and Dnipro regions.
