Russians continue to shell energy facilities across Ukraine. Over the past day, the occupiers targeted civilian energy infrastructure in the regions of Dnipro, Donetsk, Mykolaiv, Poltava, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson, and Chernihiv.

According to the Ministry of Energy on Tuesday, 10 September, shelling in Dnipro Region caused outages at a substation, affected household consumers, and cut off a water utility twice. Additionally, a substation, consumers, and the railway were also disrupted. However, train traffic was not affected, and power engineers restored the electricity supply using a backup system.

In Sumy Region, a substation lost power due to shelling of an overhead line, while in Kharkiv Region, household consumers were also affected. Power was restored through a backup system.

In Poltava Region, an overhead line was disconnected during an air raid alarm, leading to a power outage. The supply has since been restored.

In Chernihiv Region, overhead lines were damaged by shelling, cutting power to 947 customers across 15 settlements.

In Donetsk Region, hostile shelling damaged equipment at a mine. Fortunately, no one was inside the mine during the incident, though one person required medical assistance.

The last large-scale shelling of energy facilities occurred on 26 August. The Ministry of Energy noted that the damage from this attack continues to disrupt the stable operation of the power system. During that assault, the occupiers hit power lines transmitting electricity from nuclear power plants, which was confirmed by the IAEA.

Despite these challenges, there are no scheduled blackouts in Ukraine on 10 September. However, power engineers urge the public to conserve electricity by avoiding the simultaneous use of multiple high-power appliances.
