"In the Chernihiv Region, as a result of a UAV attack on substations, equipment was damaged and a fire broke out, which was later extinguished. In the Zhytomyr Region, as a result of a UAV attack on a substation, equipment and several overhead lines were disconnected, which led to the blackout of household and industrial consumers. All consumers have been restored," the message says.

According to the report, the equipment at the high-voltage substation was turned off due to technological malfunctions in the central region, and the equipment is currently operational.

"In the Kyiv Region, a high-voltage overhead line was turned off due to technological malfunctions. At the same time, several substations and household consumers of the Kyiv and Cherkasy Regions were cut off. All consumers were restored according to the backup scheme. In the Khmelnytskyi Region, a high-voltage overhead line was turned off, which led to the blackout of the substation, household consumers, and as well as the railways (there were no disruptions to the movement of trains). All consumers were restored under the reserve scheme," the message says.

Also, in the Dnipropetrovsk Region, a high-voltage overhead line was shut down due to technological malfunctions.

As a result, the substation, household consumers, and local industry lost power, currently consumers are restored by a backup scheme.
