In the evening of November 17, after a UAV attack, part of the temporarily occupied Donetsk Region was left without electricity supply - Donetsk, Makiivka and other settlements were cut off.
This is reported by Suspilne Donbas.
Local residents told Suspilne that around 10 p.m. in many parts of Donetsk, the power went out. One of the residents described the situation: "It was quiet, and then it was like an electric arc. A bright flash - and it became dark. The light flashed several times. I look from the balcony - only a few streets have light, the city is in darkness." According to him, the Internet also started to be disrupted.
From Makiivka, local residents report hearing drones flying and explosions. One of the interlocutors of Suspilne said: "There were several loud explosions, probably a drone. There is no electricity. The internet is bad, but it still works."
RIA Novosti reports that power supply has been cut off in several districts of Donetsk. TASS clarifies that most of the city is without power. The "mayor" appointed by the occupation authorities, Ivan Prikhodko, said about the power outage in Horlivka.
Social media also reports a UAV attack and power outages in Donetsk, Yasynuvata, Makiivka, Horlivka, Yenakieve and other settlements in the occupied part of the region. Users also report problems with mobile Internet.
As a reminder, the Ukrainian Defense Forces struck the Novokuybyshevsk Oil Refinery in the Samara Oblast of the aggressor country russia, as well as the UAV storage base of the Rubicon unit.
