Ukraine schedules power cuts in several regions for November 9

Ukraine's national energy operator Ukrenergo announced scheduled power outages for November 9 in several regions, with hourly blackouts affecting consumers for up to four queues throughout the day. The restrictions will apply from 00:00 to 23:59 for all consumer categories, with industrial power limits also in effect. Ukrenergo warned the situation may change due to Russian strikes and urged residents to monitor official updates from regional distribution operators. The announcement follows recent Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, including strikes on November 7-8 that left over 600,000 consumers without power in Dnipropetrovsk, Kyiv, and other regions, with significant damage to substations connecting nuclear plants to the grid.
