As of the morning of July 17, consumers in five Ukrainian regions remained without electricity due to Russian attacks.
Ukrenergo said this in a Facebook post, Ukrinform reports.
"The enemy continues to attack Ukraine's civilian energy infrastructure. As of this morning, Russian strikes have caused new power outages in the Odesa, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, and Sumy regions. Emergency repair crews are already carrying out restoration work wherever the security situation permits," the company said.
Electricity consumption as of 09:30 on Friday remained at the same level as the previous day and was in line with seasonal norms. Ukrenergo advised consumers to use high-power electrical appliances between 10:00 and 16:00, when industrial solar power plants operate at their highest efficiency.
