Energodar Administration Reports Repeated Landing Attempts and Power Disruptions

The head of the Energodar administration, Oleksandr Volga, reported that Ukrainian forces attempted to land troops in the city area. He told Interfax that there was another attempt to break through the descent from Nikopol in the direction of Kamenka-Dneprovskaya, about 10 kilometers from Energodar. Volga described the operation as a coup that was repelled, stressing that the landing took place around 1:00 Moscow time. Before the attempt, Ukrainian artillery targeted the Luch substation, a critical facility feeding Energodar’s power network. The attack caused outages while power lines and infrastructure were damaged, and authorities indicated that restoration work began immediately but would take time. Volga noted that this marked the third landing attempt by Ukrainian forces near Energodar since the start of September, underscoring a pattern of tense confrontations around the city. On the eve of the incident, Energodar’s administration had already warned about artillery bombardment in the area, documenting a continued cycle of strikes and countermeasures that have affected civilian life and essential services. The recurrent clashes have drawn international attention to the ongoing security situation in the region and the challenges faced by local authorities in maintaining utility services and public order amid military activity.
