According to the Ministry of Energy, the enemy continues to shell the energy infrastructure, which leads to damage to substations and power lines, limiting the capabilities of the power system. 

Power engineers, as noted, are promptly carrying out restoration work at damaged power facilities, taking the necessary measures to stabilize the power system.  

"We urge all consumers to consume electricity rationally throughout the day. Sustainable consumption reduces the load on the power grid," the Ministry of Energy said.

Over the past 24 hours, power companies have reportedly restored power to 14,511 consumers who were cut off as a result of the fighting.
