Ukraine imposes strict power cuts on November 9 after Russian strikes

Ukraine's national energy operator Ukrenergo will impose strict power consumption restrictions on November 9, affecting both industry and households due to the aftermath of Russian mass attacks on energy infrastructure. From 00:00 to 23:59 on November 9, power limitation schedules will apply to industrial consumers, while hourly outage schedules affecting 1.5 to 4 queues will be implemented for all consumer categories. Ukrenergo warned that the situation may change due to shelling and urged citizens to monitor regional energy company announcements and use electricity sparingly. As of the morning of November 8, the Dnipropetrovsk region faces the most severe power situation, with emergency outages introduced in several regions. In Zhytomyr, schools have temporarily switched to distance learning following a Russian strike on a boiler house, while hospitals continue operating normally.
