Ukrainian power company announced emergency electricity cuts in the Kyiv region on Saturday, 7 November, after overnight Russian strikes damaged energy infrastructure. A large fire broke out at a Naftogaz facility in the region during the attack, injuring 9 people, according to the Macedonian outlet Sloboden Pečat.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said the capital's energy situation was extremely difficult, with the strikes disrupting heating and water supplies as well as electricity. The city's Northern Bridge over the Dnipro was also damaged in the same barrage and closed to traffic in both directions, according to Ukrainian officials.
The overnight attack was part of a wider barrage that President Volodymyr Zelensky said involved 36 and 172 drones aimed mainly at Kyiv and the surrounding region. Utility and emergency crews were working to restore supplies at damaged sites, though officials had not given a confirmed timetable for full restoration.
DTEK said the emergency restrictions could depart from its ordinary scheduled outages, and advised residents and businesses to check its latest notices to find out whether power was available in their area.

Why it matters for Europe
Emergency power cuts can be less predictable for residents than scheduled outages, and come as Kyiv heads into winter already managing damage to its grid from repeated strikes. A fire at a gas-sector facility adds to the strain on emergency services already responding to bridge and building damage from the same barrage.
