Overnight from 28 to 29 November, following a massive missile-and-drone strike, more than 500,000 consumers in the capital were left without power; in Kyiv region about 100,000 subscribers were de-energized.
Power is out in parts of the Obolon, Solomyansky, Shevchenkivskyi, Podil, Holosiiv and Sviatoshyn districts.
Across the country, hourly rolling blackout schedules are being implemented on Saturday; in the vast majority of regions there are also power restrictions for industrial consumers and businesses.

Transport consequences
On the right bank of the capital, trams and trolleybuses stopped due to a loss of voltage in the overhead contact network, complicating public transport movement.
Casualties and damage
The air-raid alert lasted from 22:55 to 9:27; the attack continued throughout the night. Preliminary reports indicate six buildings were damaged. Two people were killed and at least 29 were injured as a result of the strike.
