Missile War Monitor: Russian Drones Cut Power to More than 600,000 in Dnipropetrovska Oblast
DTEK said the overnight attack damaged critical energy facilities and forced hospitals and other infrastructure onto generators as repairs continued.
- Overnight on November 7-8, Russian forces launched a drone attack that damaged energy infrastructure in the Dnipropetrovsk region, leaving more than 600,000 residents without power across five districts, DTEK reported.
- Russia has targeted Ukraine's energy grid throughout its four-and-a-half-year invasion, and Kyiv is entering another wartime winter with temperatures already hovering around freezing.
- Air defenses shot down or jammed 137 of 164 launched Shahed-type drones, though hits were recorded at 23 locations; authorities reported one person killed in Odesa on November 7.
- Hospitals and critical facilities switched to generators as Ukrenergo implemented hourly outage schedules covering 1.5 to 4 queues nationwide on November 8, though repair works continued with no confirmed restoration timeline.
- These strikes occurred two days before trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi scheduled for November 10-11, where President Volodymyr Zelensky claims Russia is intensifying strikes to apply pressure on Kyiv.
