What happened

Ukraine's Ministry of Energy reported a rolling series of Russian strikes on energy infrastructure from 9 to 11 August left consumers without power across multiple oblasts. Odesa region was hit hardest overnight into 9 August by a massive missile and drone attack, and network restrictions remained in place there even after most consumers were reconnected; Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv and Sumy also lost power on 10 August. By 11 August the Ministry said parts of Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Kharkiv, Sumy and Chernihiv were without electricity, again attributed to shelling of energy facilities (the separate, more severe Zaporizhzhia strike that killed six and injured 19 on the night of 10–11 August is recorded individually elsewhere on this map). No individual substation or generating facility was named in the Ministry's public statements and no customer-disconnection counts were published, so this is an aggregate record rather than a single-site incident. The marker is placed in central Ukraine as a national reference point and does not represent any one damaged facility.
