Dnipro in complete blackout: the city declared a state of national emergency.

According to ТСН: After massive shelling from Russia and serious power outages in Dnipro, a national emergency has been declared.

The mayor of the city, Borys Filatov, reported this, noting:

“Technically, the situation in Dnipro is one of the most complicated. This is indeed a national emergency”

According to him, medical institutions are gradually restoring electricity supply after operating on alternative energy sources. The sewage system has also received electricity. On the left bank of the Dnipro, alternative power sources continue to be used, and water supply on the right bank is gradually improving.

The situation with heating and transport

The mayor also reminded that

“All heating plants were switched off yesterday. We are currently making every effort to restore their operation”

In kindergartens, duty groups are working for four hours, and school holidays are extended until January 11.

The situation in the region

DTEK reported that 800 thousand families in the Dnipropetrovsk region are temporarily without electricity after the shelling. Energy workers are working around the clock to restore electricity supply and have already managed to energize part of the critical infrastructure.

It is reminded that on the evening of January 7, Russia carried out an attack, as a result of which nearly the entire Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions were left without electricity. The city of Dnipro found itself in complete blackout due to the shutdown of thermal power plants and substations.

In Zaporizhzhia, repair crews worked all night and managed to restore electricity to the city. At the same time, half of the Dnipropetrovsk region is still without electricity.

The situation in the Dnipropetrovsk region remains complicated, but energy workers and local authorities are making efforts to restore electricity supply. The extension of school holidays and the limited operation of kindergartens indicate that the safety of residents is a priority during the aftermath of the shelling. Despite the difficulties, the community is uniting, ready to help each other in this difficult time.
