Russian shelling has caused new power outages in four regions
As a result of Russian shelling on the morning of June 3, new power outages were reported in the Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Dnipropetrovsk, and Zaporizhzhia regions. At the same time, electricity consumption across the country rose by 10%.
It is noted that emergency repair work has already begun where the security situation permits.
“As a result of enemy shelling, new power outages have been reported this morning in the Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Dnipropetrovsk, and Zaporizhzhia regions. Where security conditions currently permit, emergency repair work has already begun,” the statement reads.
According to energy officials, as of 9:30 a.m., electricity consumption exceeds the previous day’s level by 10%.
Ukrenergo attributes this increase to cloudy weather across nearly all of Ukraine, which reduces the efficiency of solar power plants.
“As of 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, electricity consumption is 10% higher than the previous day,” the company clarified.
The power grid operator urges Ukrainians to use electricity rationally throughout the day and avoid turning on high-power appliances simultaneously during peak hours from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
This was reported by NPC "Ukrenergo" on Facebook.
Additionally, the Russian army struck a gas station in the Zaporizhzhia region and launched a second attack while rescue workers were attempting to extinguish the fire. There are no reported casualties at this time.
On the morning of June 3, Russian troops struck Kharkiv. The Kholodnohirskyi and Osnovyanskyi districts of the city came under attack. Five people were injured as a result of the shelling.
A Russian missile attack on Kyiv on the morning of June 2 dealt a serious blow to Ukrainian businesses. A “Zircon” missile strike completely destroyed the warehouse of the company “Ruta — Magic Potion” (RutaBalm), where recently manufactured products were stored.
During the nighttime shelling of Kyiv, a Russian missile was heading straight for the entrance of a residential building in Vynogradar, but it did not reach its target and detonated after striking a high-voltage power line pole. The explosion damaged apartments and cars, but there were no fatalities.
