Mykolaiv and much of the region are without electricity. What is the reason behind this outage?

A large part of the Mykolaiv region was left without electricity on the morning of November 29. The cause of the outage was a network break.

According to the energy workers, as of 8:00 AM, approximately 70% of the Mykolaiv region, including the city of Mykolaiv, was without power. Meanwhile, in areas where power has been restored, hourly electricity shutdown schedules remain in effect.
