According to the Ministry of Energy, the power grid has suffered further damage, and the level of load on the grid has forced operators to immediately apply emergency schedules to keep the system from further failures.

“As soon as the security situation allows, rescuers and power engineers will start eliminating the consequences of the attack to restore power supply in the regions as soon as possible. Emergency blackouts will be canceled after the situation in the power system stabilizes,” the statement said.
