⚡ Ukraine: Critical Energy Situation in Lutsk and Kiev

Lutsk (Volyn Oblast): Authorities warn of power outages lasting at least 24 hours following strikes on two substations. Water pressure remains low across the city.

Kiev Region: On Oct 15, two jet drones hit the 330kV "Novokievskaya" substation near Khotov village, damaging the 110kV switchgear. This caused emergency blackouts in Kiev and oblast on Oct 16, overriding standard schedules.

Water supply issues also emerged in right-bank Kiev districts (Holosiivskyi, Sviatoshynskyi, Solomiankyi, Shevchenkivskyi) due to reduced pressure. The main transformers reportedly remain intact.
