According to Starovoit, the village lost power after a drone dropped ammunition onto a substation, causing a blackout for residents. Electrical infrastructure was damaged, leaving households without electricity and disrupting daily life, particularly during a time when heat, lighting, and essential services are already strained. Emergency responders and regional services were mobilized to assess the damage, secure the scene, and begin restoring critical infrastructure. (attribution: regional emergency services reports)

He emphasized that repair work was prioritized and that service restoration would proceed as repairs were completed and safety checks confirmed. The aim, he said, was to reestablish power without delay while maintaining public safety. (attribution: Kursk regional administration updates)
