Kryvyi Rih faces severe power outages after strikes on energy grid

Serious power outages have begun in Kryvyi Rih, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's hometown, with some areas experiencing complete blackouts and others suffering voltage fluctuations, according to Ukrainian agency UNIAN. The disruptions follow strikes on energy infrastructure on November 8 that left over 600,000 customers in the Dnipropetrovsk region without power, affecting districts including Dniprovskyi, Kamianskyi, Samarovskyi, Pavlohradskyi, and Synelnykivskyi, as reported by Ukrainian authorities and DTEK. Kyiv and Odesa also face prolonged outages, with emergency restrictions replacing regular schedules in some regions. A previous blackout in Dnipropetrovsk halted electric transport and the metro, while metro stations remained open as shelters.
