The shelling by the Ukrainian army resulted in the de-energizing of 29 transformer substations in the locality of Trudovskiye of the Petrovsky district of Donetsk city. It was reported in the operational command of the DPR.

In addition, the continuing attacks by the AFU impede the restoration of power supply in five localities in the south of the DPR, according to the Acting Head of the Novoazovskiy District Administration, Anatoly Yanovsky.

‘The utilities services can not start working on the damage due to the fact that, as soon as the workers go to the place, the Ukrainian military resume the shelling,’ said Yanovsky.

The day before, the DPR Defense Ministry asked the OSCE representatives to ensure for «silence regime» to restore the power supply, disrupted by the AFU in the southern localities of the Republic.
