Russia Launches 23 Attacks on Zaporizhzhiaoblenergo Energy Facilities Over the Weekend

During the weekend of April 4 and 5, energy workers recorded 23 strikes on the electrical networks of the joint-stock company Zaporizhzhiaoblenergo. These attacks, carried out by Russian military forces, resulted in power outages for thousands of consumers, as reported by the company on its Telegram channel. Andriy Stasevskyi, the head of Zaporizhzhiaoblenergo, provided more detailed information about the situation on Monday.

According to Stasevskyi, approximately 75% of the affected consumers have already had their power restored. He noted that, as is often the case, the areas most severely impacted are those located near the front line, particularly the regions of Orikhiv, parts of Novomykolaivka, Vilniansk, and the Bilenkivska community.

In total, as a result of the shelling by Russia over the weekend, more than 15,000 consumers were left without electricity. Stasevskyi emphasized that despite the challenging security situation in these regions, teams from Zaporizhzhiaoblenergo managed to restore power for 11,673 families.

However, he stated that around 4,000 consumers remain without electricity. He explained that on April 5, the company was unable to restore power to these areas due to ongoing shelling by the enemy, which included the use of cluster munitions.

Zaporizhzhiaoblenergo also highlighted that under stable security conditions, the company plans to restore electricity to consumers by the evening. This reflects the efforts of energy workers who, despite the dangers, continue to work on restoring power in the affected regions.

The situation in the Zaporizhzhia region remains tense, as shelling continues and energy workers face numerous safety challenges. Nevertheless, thanks to the efforts of the staff at Zaporizhzhiaoblenergo, many families have already regained access to electricity, which is a crucial factor in maintaining normal life amid the ongoing war.
