Electrical substation in Zaporizhzhia disconnected from Ukraine power grid
Power failure hits several regions
Zaporizhia Oblast drastically impacted
A high-voltage power line connecting the Zaporizhia Oblast to Ukraine's power grid has been disconnected, resulting in power outages in several regions of the country, including Zaporizhzhia.
The disconnection took place on Sunday, causing power outages in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, as well as parts of the Kherson and Dnipropetrovsk regions, according to local officials.
The cause of the disconnection is still under investigation, but authorities suspect sabotage or a technical failure.
The outage has disrupted daily life for residents, with many homes, businesses, and public services without power.
Repair crews are working to restore power, but it is unclear when the repairs will be completed.
The disconnection comes at a time when Ukraine is already facing an energy crisis due to the ongoing war with Russia.
Russia has been accused of targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure, and the disconnection of the high-voltage power line is raising concerns that the situation could worsen.
The Ukrainian government has called on international partners to help restore power to the affected regions.
It remains to be seen when power will be fully restored and what the long-term implications of the disconnection will be for Ukraine's energy security.
