Ukraine announces power outage schedule for November 1 after Russian strikes

Ukraine's national energy operator Ukrenergo announced scheduled power outages for Sunday, November 1, affecting parts of the country due to the aftermath of massive Russian strikes on energy infrastructure. The outages will apply from 06:00 to 23:59, with volumes ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 queues, while industrial consumers will face power capacity restrictions during the same period. Ukrenergo noted the situation may change due to ongoing shelling. Consumers are advised to monitor updates from regional distribution operators and use electricity sparingly. The announcement follows a Russian drone attack on Kyiv on October 30 that hit critical infrastructure, causing blackouts and water supply disruptions, though services have since been restored.
