Occupied Donetsk Oblast was plunged into darkness: a blackout occurred in the region

Occupied Donetsk and a significant portion of the region’s territory temporarily seized by Russian terrorists are without power. In particular, Donetsk, Horlivka, Makiivka, and other settlements in the so-called “DPR” are currently without power, according to local Telegram channels.

The 
temporarily occupied cities of Donetsk, Horlivka, Makiivka, Yasynuvata, and a number of other settlements are currently without electricity. Power surges were observed prior to the power outage. 

Such disruptions and widespread power outages in the Russian-occupied territories of Donetsk Oblast have recently become a recurring phenomenon.

As a reminder, a series of powerful explosions rocked the temporarily occupied city of Donetsk on August 26.

New photos of the “Donbas Arena” in occupied Donetsk have appeared online. The stadium, which served as Shakhtar’s home arena until 2014, continues to fall into disrepair.

On August 24, an explosion was reported in occupied Donetsk, and a video of the moment of the attack appeared online. According to preliminary reports, the explosion occurred near Lenin Square.
