More than 350,000 subscribers in Dnipro and nearby settlements were left without electricity after Russian forces attacked the city again on Thursday, Oleksandr Hanzha, head of the Dnipropetrovsk regional military administration, said, describing the total as preliminary. Hanzha said power workers were working to restore supply, and that water supply and sewage pumping stations were being switched to backup power from generators. DTEK had earlier reported that part of Dnipro and nearby districts lost electricity as a result of an attack on trunk networks, Ukrainska Pravda said.

More than 350,000 subscribers in Dnipro and nearby settlements were left without electricity after a further Russian attack on the city on Thursday, the head of the Dnipropetrovsk regional military administration said, giving the figure as preliminary.
Why it matters: DTEK said an attack on trunk networks left part of the city and nearby districts without power, with water and sewage pumping stations being switched to generator backup, a sign of how directly the strikes now reach daily life in the city.
