Eight mines in Dnipropetrovsk region left without electricity due to Russian strike

As a result of another Russian attack in Dnipropetrovsk region on November 6, eight DTEK coal mines were left without electricity. At the time of the strike, 2,595 workers were underground, and they are urgently being brought to the surface.

This was reported by DTEK and the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine.

Rescuers and mine personnel quickly organized the evacuation of people to the surface. All miners are being examined by doctors after being lifted. According to preliminary information, there are no deaths or injuries. So far, there have been no complaints about their well-being or deterioration of health. DTEK confirmed that none of our colleagues were injured.

“Russia continues its energy terror. Another strike has put the lives of thousands of miners at risk. Russia continues to fight civilians. The Russian tactic is clear – to leave Ukrainians without light and heat in winter,” said Svitlana Grinchuk, Minister of Energy of Ukraine.
