    Just to note, Odesa and other places were hard hit again today ...

    Power out in several regions ahead of New Year’s Eve

    At least three people were killed and seven injured in the nationwide attacks, according to the Ukrainian State Emergency Service.

    Russia’s onslaught on Thursday was aimed at the country’s electrical infrastructure, and knocked out power in several regions. Engineering crews were racing to restore services as the New Year’s holiday approaches this weekend.

    Ukraine’s Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko said that Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were particularly hard hit, and experiencing emergency power outages – when the electricity is protectively turned off to diminish damage from the grid shorting out.

    “Today the enemy carried out another massive attack on the energy infrastructure of Ukraine,” Halushchenko said in a post on Facebook. “Unfortunately, there is some damage to generation facilities and power grids.”

    Forty percent of Kyiv residents were without power, mayor Vitali Klitschko said, adding that this was due to security measures taken by power engineers during the air raid alarm and that they were now working to resume services. “The city is supplying heat and water in normal mode,” Klitschko said on the messaging app Telegram

    ... In the south, Odessa governor Maksym Marchenko said air defence shot down 21 missiles over the region.

    "Fragments of one of the enemy missiles fell onto a residential building, fortunately there were no casualties," he said.

    He added that there was damage to energy infrastructure and emergency power cuts were enforced in the region.

    Thank you for the post Meian, and for sharing the update, Jundo.

    We were getting close to a more or less stabilized situation before the latest strike but now
    things with the outage scheduling got messy again.

    Anyhow... I will try to be there live. Otherwise, will sit off the grid yet with all of you.

    I have a lot to learn; take anything I say that sounds like teaching with a grain of salt.
