Russian Strike Leaves 600,000 Without Power in Dnipropetrovsk Region

A Russian attack on energy infrastructure in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region on November 8 left over 600,000 consumers without power across five districts, forcing hospitals and critical facilities to switch to generators. Regional governor Oleksandr Hanzha confirmed outages in Dnipro, Kamianske, Samar, Pavlohrad, and Synelnykove districts. Dnipro Mayor Borys Filatov reported a second blackout in two weeks, with electric transport halted and water supply partially restored via generators. The attack follows Russian strikes on distribution stations nationwide, which President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said cause an electricity deficit despite sufficient generation. Officials warn of potential prolonged outages in Kyiv as Russia targets key substations.
