The Russian army attacked the energy infrastructure of the Mykolaiv region, resulting in a blackout. Restoration work is ongoing.

This is stated in the morning summary of the Mykolaiv Regional Military Administration.

Energy companies have already healed most of the consumers, but the work continues. There are no casualties.

Also, on the night of October 17, air defense forces conducted combat operations in the Mykolaiv region.

We will remind that since the very morning of Wednesday, October 16, in Mykolaiv and Kherson, electricity has disappeared in almost all districts of the cities.

In addition, the water supply has disappeared in Kherson due to the lack of electricity, this is reported by journalists of Suspilne.Kherson.

Despite the authorities' statements that the blackouts are not related to Russian shelling, we note that Shahed 131/136 type drones were launched this night in the Mykolaiv region, of which three were eliminated by air defense. According to the data of Kherson RMA, more than 10 settlements in the region were under fire from Russian troops during the day.
