In the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don, residents in about a dozen buildings have been left without electricity. Some of these buildings also lack water and heating, reports the SHOT Telegram channel.

According to a source, power outages in the city began yesterday during the day, and in some buildings, heating and water were also cut off in the evening.

Accidents at power substations led to a partial power outage in Rostov-on-Don. Energy officials have promised to restore electricity in the affected buildings soon, but the timelines have been repeatedly delayed.

"The partial blackout was caused by several accidents at power substations. Donenergo promises to restore electricity in the affected buildings soon, but the specified timelines have been shifted several times, and repair work is ongoing," reported the channel.
