Kherson partially left without electricity after another Russian attack

The head of the Kherson city military administration, Yaroslav Shanko, reported on January 5 that the city suffered damage to its energy infrastructure as a result of artillery and drone attacks by the Russian Federation.

Energy service specialists quickly began emergency restoration work, trying to stabilize the system under the constant threat of repeated strikes. As of the evening, power supply had already been restored in some areas of the regional center, but the restoration process continues depending on the security situation in specific areas.

While repairs are underway, residents of the power-cut neighborhoods can use the network of invincibility points that operate throughout the city to provide basic needs for the population. In these centers, locals have the opportunity to recharge mobile devices, use stable Internet access, and warm up, which is critically important against the backdrop of a winter drop in temperature. The situation in Kherson remains tense as Russia continues to target civilian facilities and humanitarian aid distribution points, resulting in new civilian casualties.

Despite systematic Russian pressure, public utilities and volunteers are working in an intensified mode to minimize the consequences of energy terror. The authorities are urging residents to be vigilant, respond to air raid sirens, and keep water supplies and power banks charged in case of prolonged outages. Official sources continue to monitor the condition of the critical network and promise to complete the main stages of connecting consumers in the near future, unless there is new large-scale destruction on the contact line.
