The Russian drone and missile attack on Ukraine on the night of June 6 again hit the energy infrastructure. Residents of Kyiv, Ternopil, and settlements in the Lviv region were left without electricity.
According to official information from DTEK, more than 2,000 families on the left bank of Kyiv were without power:
"Due to shelling by Russian occupiers, 2,167 families on the left bank of the capital were left without electricity. We are doing everything possible to restore power to every home as soon as possible," the energy sector said in a statement.
Problems with electricity supply have also been recorded in the Lviv region. According to the head of the Lviv OVA, Maksym Kozytsky, power lines have failed in several villages near Lviv. Emergency crews from Lvivoblenergo are currently working there.
Ternopil also suffered serious consequences from the attack. Mayor Serhiy Nadal reported that part of the city was left without electricity, and the power outage led to water supply disruptions:
"There may be a lack of pressure on the upper floors," the mayor noted.
In Kyiv, civilian infrastructure, residential buildings, cars, and a section of the metro between the Darnytsia and Livoberezhna stations were damaged as a result of night-time shelling. According to Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko, the attack killed four people and injured another twenty, 16 of whom were hospitalized.
Cities in western Ukraine, including Lutsk and Ternopil, were also hit. The extent of the damage and the impact on infrastructure are still being determined.
As of the morning of June 6, energy workers are continuing to work to restore power. Official sources are urging Ukrainians to use electricity wisely during peak hours.
