Russian troops have once again struck energy infrastructure facilities in the Kharkiv, Odesa, and Donetsk regions. Repair and restoration work is ongoing at the sites of damage, according to the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine.

Due to the difficult situation in Ukraine's energy system, hourly power cuts and power restrictions for industrial consumers and businesses are in effect in most regions on November 11.

Energy officials remind that the current power outage schedules are revealed on the official websites of regional distribution system operators.

"We urge consumers to use electricity rationally throughout the day, especially during peak consumption hours in the morning and evening. This helps to reduce the load on the system," the statement says.

In most regions of Ukraine, hourly power outage schedules will be in effect on November 11.
