On Sunday, November 15, 2026, the Korosten city territorial community was completely left without electricity. The cause of the emergency power outage was an enemy drone attack outside the community, which damaged the region’s energy infrastructure.
The situation in the community and the progress of restoration work was reported by Korosten city mayor Volodymyr Moskalenko.
What happened and when the power will be restored
As the head of the community emphasized, due to network damage caused by the night shelling on the territory of the Korosten community, the usual hourly blackout schedules are temporarily not in effect. Energy workers are already working on eliminating the consequences of the strike and gradually restoring power.
Recall that on the night of November 15, Russian strike drones attacked the energy infrastructure and private sector of Zhytomyr region. According to the Regional Military Administration, Zhytomyr and Chernyakhiv communities were hit by the enemy strike, with energy facilities and four private residential houses damaged. There were no casualties or injuries.
Points of Invincibility and Mobile State Emergency Service Bases in Korosten Community
Given the unstable situation in the energy system and possible prolonged power outages, residents are advised to check in advance the locations of the nearest aid points. Below is up-to-date information about the operation of points of invincibility in the community.
On the territory of the Korosten city territorial community, 21 points of invincibility have been set up, of which 9 are located directly in the city of Korosten. Here residents can warm up, drink hot tea, use the internet, and charge mobile phones or power banks.
- Operating mode: in case of blackout or prolonged power outage, by a separate order of the city mayor, all points of invincibility switch to a 24-hour operation schedule.
- Network expansion: city authorities are also working on opening additional heating and charging points in remote neighborhoods of Korosten to make assistance more accessible to residents of all parts of the city.
In addition, State Emergency Service units apply an updated response algorithm for prolonged power outages: in cities with populations over 30,000 residents (including Korosten), if there is no electricity for more than 24 hours, rescuers deploy additional mobile aid points. They are equipped with powerful generators and heat guns to warm citizens and charge gadgets.
