The company is urging residents of the Odesa region to use electricity as sparingly as possible, which will help complete repair work more quickly and restore power to those who are still without it.
As reported by Ukrinform, Russian troops attacked Odesa overnight with ballistic missiles and strike drones, resulting in casualties and damage to infrastructure. The blackouts were reported in parts of Odesa due to a local grid failure.
