At night, enemy drones attacked energy facilities in Dnipropetrovska oblast. No electricity shortages are expected as the power system is operating in a balanced mode.
In the Dnipropetrovs'k region, as a result of an attack by enemy UAVs, the overhead lines of NPC Ukrenergo were disconnected. In Zaporizhzhia region , industrial enterprises were briefly cut off from power. The power system is operating in a balanced manner. UNN reports this with reference to Ukrenergo and the Ministry of Energy.

As a result, the backup power supply scheme of Zaporizhzhya NPP was taken offline. Repair crews have now restored the operation of one 330 kV line, the power engineers assured.
In addition, an attack by an enemy UAV in Zaporizhzhia region resulted in a short-term power outage at industrial enterprises.
