In brief

A Russian attack on an energy facility on the morning of November 15 left a significant number of customers without electricity in Zaporizhzhia and the surrounding region. The electricity company said restoration work was under way.

Russian forces damaged electrical equipment at an energy facility in Zaporizhzhia region, cutting power to customers in the city and elsewhere in the region, RBC-Ukraine reported, citing the press service of electricity company Zaporizhzhiaoblenergo.

The company's head, Andrii Stasevskyi, said crews were already working to restore electricity and described the situation as under control. He said they were doing everything possible to restore power by the end of the day; this was an aim, not confirmation that repairs had been completed.

RBC-Ukraine's report did not specify the number of customers without power or identify the damaged facility or its exact address.
