After massive shelling of the territory of Ukraine, Moldova stopped receiving electricity from Romania. NewsMaker writes about this, citing data from the power grid operator Moldelectrica. Deputy Prime Minister of Moldova Andrei Spinu said on his Telegram channel that the shutdowns are related to a massive missile attack on Ukraine.
“After the Russian bombardment of the Ukrainian energy system, during the last hour, one of the power lines providing the transportation of electricity for our country was switched off automatically,” Spinu wrote. According to him, this led to massive power outages throughout the country. He clarified that we are not talking about damage, but about automatic shutdowns.
Social networks report that power surges are being felt in Poland and Hungary.
On November 15, Russia launched rocket attacks on Kiev and several Ukrainian regions. Fragments of two rockets hit residential buildings. There were also attacks on Zhytomyr, Lvov and Kharkov. Explosions were heard in Krivoy Rog. Two explosions – in Khmelnitsky, the city is partially de-energized, local authorities report.
Deputy Head of the President's Office Kyrylo Tymoshenko said that the situation in the Ukrainian energy sector is "critical". “Most hits were recorded in the center and in the north of the country. The situation in the capital is very difficult, special emergency shutdown schedules are being introduced,” he said. Kyiv authorities reported one death as a result of shelling. Mobile operators have limited the work of some services in Lviv. According to the mayor, this will save electricity for the possibility of making calls.
The pro-Russian Telegram channel "Military Informant" writes that during today's massive missile attack, the Russian army used about 100 cruise missiles. According to these data, today's raid surpasses the missile attack on October 10, during which 84 missiles were used.
