Russian troops again attacked energy infrastructure in the Odesa region on the night of November 15. The damage left tens of thousands of families without power; repairs will take some time, according to DTEK.
"Overnight, Russia attacked a DTEK power facility. 41,000 families were left without power," the statement reads.
Power company workers began restoration work as soon as it was safe to do so. Currently, specialists are clearing debris and repairing damaged equipment.
The company warns that the restoration will take time. At the same time, utility workers are doing everything possible to restore power to residents' homes in the region as quickly as possible.
