Drone strikes destroy Ovruch substation, leaving town without power

The Ovruch electrical substation in Zhytomyr Oblast has been completely destroyed by repeated drone strikes, leaving the town without power. Restoration of electricity will take considerable time, according to local officials. Mayor of Ovruch called on residents to prepare for a prolonged blackout, emphasizing that even after power is restored, the threat remains. He urged strict compliance with blackout measures, including turning off all outdoor lighting at buildings, signs, and private homes. The attacks on energy infrastructure have affected other regions as well. On November 7, over 60,000 consumers in Dnipro lost power due to repeated strikes, with repairs pending security conditions. Earlier drone attacks also hit Rovno, Ternopil region, and Dnipro.
