Over 1,800 consumers in ten settlements have been left without power following the Russian missile attack in Chernihiv Oblast. Source: press service of Ukraine's Ministry of Energy Quote: "In Chernihiv Oblast, as a result of a missile attack, 1,821 consumers in ten settlements were simultaneously left without power," the report said.

During an air-raid warning in the central region, a high-voltage overhead line was also disconnected.

Furthermore, hot weather persists in Ukraine, triggering increased electricity consumption, particularly due to the active use of air conditioners.

In Kharkiv Oblast, an oblenergo [an oblast electricity distributor] repair brigade came under Russian attack, but no one was affected.

As of this morning, 479 villages were left without power due to hostilities and technical violations.
