🇷🇺 Russian strikes hit Lutsk, causing full blackout

On the morning of October 16, 2026, a new strike targeted the area near Substation "Lutsk-South" (PS "Lutsk-Yuzhnaya") in Volyn region. A large fire broke out at high-voltage infrastructure lines.

This follows yesterday's damage to Substation "Lutsk-North," which forced the city onto an emergency grid configuration. The combined impact on both north and south power nodes caused a cascade failure, leaving Lutsk in a complete blackout with no electricity supply.

Reports indicate other explosions occurred overnight in Khmelnitsky, Rovno, Kiev, Ivano-Frankovsk, Ternopol, and Cherkassy, with major fires noted in Khmelnitsky and Rovno.
