Russian troops shelled two power facilities in Ukraine at night and on the morning of August 14. They attacked the facilities in the north and south of Ukraine, according to Ukrenergo energy company.

At night, Russian drones attacked a power facility in the northern region of Ukraine. Consumers in certain districts of the Chernihiv region lost power. As of this morning, all consumers have been restored to electricity.

In addition, this morning, Russians fired at a Ukrenergo power facility in the southern region.

The attack did not result in any power outages. Emergency repair works are underway.

Ukrenergo also reports that as of 9:30 a.m. on August 14, consumption is 1% lower than yesterday at the same time. This is due to a cold snap at night.

Due to the Russian shelling and other reasons, 492 settlements in Ukraine are completely or partially without electricity.
