The key facts
- Ukraine's Prime Minister Serhiy Koretsky reported damage to five major interregional electrical substations
- The Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk, Vinnytsia and Kirovohrad regions were affected
- The Russian Defense Ministry had earlier reported strikes on substations in the Dnipropetrovsk, Poltava and Kyiv regions
Five substations damaged in four regions
Five large substations that transmit electricity between regions have been damaged in Ukraine. This was reported by the country's Prime Minister Serhiy Koretsky on his Telegram channel. According to him, the facilities affected are located in four regions: Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk, Vinnytsia and Kirovohrad.
What the Russian Defense Ministry reported
On the morning of November 10, the Russian Defense Ministry reported strikes on energy infrastructure serving Ukrainian military-industrial complex enterprises. The ministry said substations in the Dnipropetrovsk and Poltava regions, as well as two facilities in the Kyiv region, had been hit. According to the Defense Ministry, among the targets hit were substations in Volnohorsk, Dnipropetrovsk region, and Kremenchuk, Poltava region — Life.ru had previously written about this.
What the two sides' reports agree on and where they differ
The two sides' data partially overlap: both Ukraine's prime minister and the Russian Defense Ministry mention substations in the Dnipropetrovsk and Poltava regions. However, the lists are not identical — the Ukrainian prime minister speaks of five facilities in four regions, including Vinnytsia and Kirovohrad, whereas the Russian ministry also named two facilities in the Kyiv region, which do not appear in Koretsky's statement. The full list of damaged substations and the extent of the damage remain unclear: each side provides its own list, and there is no independent verification in the sources.
