    Quick Summary

    Odesa experiences severe blackouts following a large-scale Russian attack on Ukraine's power grid, affecting thousands of households.

    Odesa Faces Major Blackouts After Russian Power Grid Attack

    KYIV, ‌Dec 13 (Reuters) - Ukraine's southern port ‍city ‌of Odesa and the surrounding region suffered ⁠major blackouts ‌on Saturday after a large overnight Russian attack on the power grid ⁠across the country.

    President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Russia had ​attacked Ukraine with over 450 ‌drones and 30 ⁠missiles.

    "The brunt of the attack was on our energy system, on ​the south and Odesa region," he wrote on Telegram, adding that thousands of families in seven ​regions ‍across Ukraine were ​left without power.

    Moscow has regularly bombarded Ukraine's energy system since its 2022 invasion, causing hours of daily blackouts countrywide.

    Ukraine's power grid operator said ⁠a "significant number" of households were without power in ​the southern regions of Odesa and Mykolaiv, and that the Ukrainian-controlled part of the frontline ‌Kherson region was totally without power.
