Kyiv and Dnipro power outages after attacks on 30–31 October
DTEK reports electricity loss in parts of Kyiv and in Dnipro, Kamianske and nearby districts after attacks on 30–31 October 2026. The operator reports damage and says repair work depends on security conditions. Separate regional estimates from President Zelenskyy describe families without electricity on 31 October; no reliable completion estimate is available.

In 20 seconds
DTEK reports attack damage and electricity loss in parts of Kyiv, Dnipro, Kamianske and nearby districts.
President Zelenskyy reports about 200,000 families without electricity in Dnipro and the surrounding region, and more than 80,000 in Kyiv region.
The regional family estimates are separate snapshots; exact onset and restoration timing remain unknown.
Where electricity loss is reported
The operator’s account covers parts of Kyiv, Dnipro and Kamianske, with Dnipro and Novomoskovsk districts also named among the affected locations. These reports describe electricity loss in particular areas. They do not establish a nationwide collapse or show that every property in any named city has lost supply. The evidence concerns the sequence of attacks on 30–31 October.
DTEK reports attack damage and makes repair work conditional on security conditions. That qualification leaves the repair timetable open: it is not a promise of a particular reconnection time. Repeated attacks overlap earlier damage, and the precise identity of individual affected circuits remains unresolved. A report for one location cannot establish the supply status of another address.
What the sources tell us, and what they do not
- Reported areas
- Parts of Kyiv; Dnipro, Kamianske and nearby districts; Kyiv region
- Attributed family estimates
- President Zelenskyy: about 200,000 in Dnipro and surrounding region; more than 80,000 in Kyiv region; separate counts
- Repairs and timing
- DTEK: repair work subject to security conditions; exact onset and completion estimate unknown
Regional family counts remain separate
President Zelenskyy reports about 200,000 families without electricity in Dnipro and the surrounding region on 31 October, alongside more than 80,000 in Kyiv region. These are attributed regional snapshots, rather than an independently verified census. The unit is families: it cannot be converted into a number of people, properties or electricity connections from the information available.
The two estimates are not added together here. Kyiv region and parts of Kyiv are geographic descriptions from different statements and should retain their original scope. Exact outage onset and original absolute publication times have not been verified. The dates identify the reported attack sequence and update, without establishing a continuous outage duration. There is no supported report of full restoration or a reliable completion estimate.
Preparing essential devices for interruptions
The grid-down essentials guide covers household preparation, while the runtime calculator helps compare essential device demand with battery capacity. The internet backup guide covers connectivity planning. These resources help with preparation; they cannot verify local electricity supply or provide a restoration forecast. Battery power for a router also cannot guarantee that the upstream communications network remains available.
