An attack on an energy facility in the Odesa region left 50,000 people without power

On the morning of November 14, Russian forces struck an energy facility in northern Odesa Oblast, leaving nearly 50,000 residents of the region without power.

This was reported by Oleg Kipper, head of the Odesa Regional Military Administration.

According to Kipper, Russian forces continue to attack energy infrastructure in the Odesa region. Early this morning, they struck a DTEK Odesa Power Grid facility in the northern part of the region.

Utility workers have already begun repair work to restore power to homes as quickly as possible.

The company also confirmed that its facility had been hit. According to DTEK, power workers began repairs as soon as it was safe to do so. They are currently clearing debris and repairing the damage.

They added that this facility has been shelled multiple times before, and repairs will take time.

As a result of damage to power facilities on the evening of November 10 and the morning of November 11, emergency power outages occurred in parts of the Bolhrad, Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi, and Odesa districts of the Odesa region. One person was injured, according to the Odesa Regional State Administration.

Amid constant Russian strikes on the energy infrastructure of the Odesa region, rolling blackouts have been implemented in the region. Specifically, power is being cut off throughout the day according to established schedules. The duration of the outages depends on the schedule, which may change depending on the situation in the power grid.
