Consequences of the Shelling and the Work of Energy Workers
As a result of the shelling, civilian infrastructure facilities and private homes were damaged. According to the mayor, there have been no reports of fatalities, but there are injuries among residents. Electricity supply is absent across the entire territory of the Chornomorsk community, with the exception of the village of Burlacha Balka.
“The critical infrastructure is currently operating on generators. Thank God, at this moment there are no reports of fatalities, but there are injured,” noted the city leader.
Energy workers from DTEK are making efforts to switch critical infrastructure facilities and residential buildings to backup lines where technical capabilities allow. The company emphasizes that the extent of the damage is significant, so repairs will take some time.
