The Russian Federation attacked the energy infrastructure in Dnipropetrovsk region overnight, causing significant power outages there, while restrictions remain in Odesa region, and schedules are in place across the country, but the situation is gradually improving in some regions with the worst conditions. Residents in two regions are without electricity due to bad weather, reported the Ministry of Energy and Ukrenergo, writes UNN.

Outages
"Due to damage caused by the consequences of previous missile and drone attacks, the distribution system operator continues to apply network restrictions in Odesa region. Emergency recovery work in the region is ongoing," the Ministry of Energy stated.
"In some of the most energy-deficient regions, the situation is gradually improving. This became possible thanks to the work of repair crews and the revision of actual lists of critical infrastructure facilities," the Ministry of Energy emphasized.
