Quote from Andrii Stasevskyi, head of Zaporizhzhiaoblenergo: "While carrying out emergency repairs in the Orikhiv area, a Zaporizhzhiaoblenergo crew came under attack by an enemy UAV. The workers were already on an aerial work platform, so they were physically unable to evacuate quickly."

Details: Stasevskyi said the troops providing cover for the energy workers responded quickly and neutralised the drone. The workers continued repairs and restored electricity to 5,500 consumers in the Orikhiv area, while their counterparts from the Zaporizhzhia district electricity network restored power to most residents of Kushuhum and Balabyne.
