Attacks on Dnipro and region
On January 8, Borys Filatov reported that Dnipro was facing an emergency of national scale following a massive Russian attack. The city has been working to restore power supply and restart boiler houses left without electricity. The most critical issue was heat supply, which became impossible due to the blackout on January 7.
Over January 7–8, Russian forces carried out large-scale strikes on energy infrastructure in the Dnipropetrovsk region and Zaporizhzhia region.
As a result of the attacks, widespread power outages were recorded in both regions. Due to the critical situation, resilience centers were deployed in cities, and residents were urged to stock up on water.
