Details: There was damage caused by the attack, Ukrenergo reported. Nevertheless, the situation in the energy system was fully under control as of 11:00 on 2 January 2023. 

Scheduled power cuts will be implemented throughout the oblasts in the evening in order to prevent additional emergencies. This is necessary due to power transmission line limitations caused by significant damage after 11 missile and 14 drone attacks by the Russians. All oblasts have received consumption limits for the evening period. 

After last night’s attack, the situation with the electricity supply in Kyiv has become complicated which is causing emergency power cuts now. Repair work is already underway.
