Mykolaiv and 70% of the region have been without electricity for more than 30 hours due to the consequences of massive rocket fire that took place on the night of November 28.

This is written by NikVesti.

As you know, on the night of November 28, Russian troops launched a massive missile attack on Ukraine. As a result of the attack, the energy infrastructure was damaged, which led to large-scale blackouts in many regions, in particular in the Mykolaiv region.

The lights in the city went out around 5:40 a.m. on November 28. Despite an attempt to restore the supply, electricity appeared only briefly in the evening, after which it disappeared again. The head of RMA Vitalii Kim assured that the damage has already been detected, and the electricity supply will be restored by noon on November 29.

As of 12 o'clock, Vitalii Kim reported that the recovery has begun. The light will be turned on according to the schedules:

«Power supply has begun. While there will be 2 hours of light, 4 will not. We may improve it tomorrow,» he wrote.

How the city adapts to the situation

Despite the power outage, a number of measures have been implemented in Mykolaiv to ensure stable daily life, Mykolaiv Mayor Oleksandr Sienkevych said.

Heating: Mykolaiv CHP is being warned about possible difficulties with heating efficiency in residential buildings. Air jams can form in heating systems, which complicates the supply of heat in the home.

In particular, condominiums, housing associations and management companies are urged to promptly take measures to ventilate indoor heating systems in order to ensure efficient operation of boilers.

OKP Mykolaivoblteploenergo informs that at night all large district and neighborhood boiler houses worked, providing heat to the townspeople. Throughout the day, facilities will continue to operate on generators with possible technical interruptions. Residents are urged to approach the situation with understanding and remember who is the real culprit of the current circumstances.

Water supply points: during power outages, some of the points that supply purified water operate in emergency mode with the help of generators.

Notification systems: due to the Russian attacks in Mykolaiv region, there is a blackout, so the rescuers announce the air alert through loudspeakers. They move around the city and regions of the region to reach as many people as possible, providing information in conditions of lack of communication and electricity supply.

Points of Invincibility: as of November 29, due to the lack of electricity for more than a day in Mykolaiv, the number of visitors to «Points of Invincibility» is increasing. People come to charge their devices, warm up and work, because there are interruptions in mobile communication and the Internet in the city.

We would like to remind you that Mykolaiv schools may go on early vacation due to problems with the lack of electricity.
