On Monday morning, August 26, the Russian military attacked the Vyshhorod Kyiv Hydroelectric Power Station.
The head of the Kyiv Regional Military Administration, Ruslan Kravchenko, reported on Facebook.
Kravchenko stated that the Kyiv HPP's dam limited traffic due to the Russians' early morning attack. They anticipated that traffic would resume around 4–5 pm.
He also mentioned that the destruction has been documented in all seven districts of the region. So far, the damage includes energy facilities, over 40 houses, five cars, warehouses, garages, and fences.
"Due to problems with energy supply, we quickly opened more than 340 Invincibility Points where people can recharge their phones and gadgets," Kravchenko wrote.
For reference:
It should be noted that on the morning of August 26, Russian terrorists launched a large-scale attack against Ukraine with attack drones and cruise missiles.
Fifteen regions of Ukraine were affected this morning by enemy shelling, causing damage to energy infrastructure facilities, yet again courtesy of Russian invaders.
A mass attack by the Russian Federation on Monday, August 26, caused power outages in multiple Ukrainian cities. Ukrenergo has issued an order to implement emergency power outages.
President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the Russian attack on Ukraine on August 26 was one of the largest, as they launched over a hundred missiles and around a hundred Shahed drones.
On the morning of August 26, during a massive attack by the Russian occupiers, two energy facilities were damaged in the Kyiv region.
According to Ukrenergo, it's currently challenging to foresee if today's widespread attack on the power network will impact future power outages. At the same time, plans for winter preparation will need to be adapted.
