⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Chronicle of the Special Military Operation for 31 Oct 2022⚡️

In the morning, the Russian Armed Forces launched massive missile strikes on critical infrastructure facilities in Ukraine. Russian forces hit substations and switchgear of the #Kanevskaya, #Kremenchug, #Prydniprovskaya, #Dneprovskaya and #Kievskaya HPPs, as well as the #Zalyutino substation in #Kharkov.

The attack caused large-scale power outages across the country and further reduced the stability of the Ukraine's unified energy system.

#Belgorod Region:

▪️ AFU militants shelled the border village of #Krasnoye in #Belgorod Region, with no civilian casualties. In the evening, air defence intercepted several aerial targets over #Belgorod.

#Starobelsk Direction (MAP):

▪️ In the #Kupyansk area, the enemy, supported by foreign mercenaries, made another offensive attempt towards #Kuzemovka and #Orlyanka, but failed and retreated.

▪️ In the #Tavolzhanka sector near #Dvurechnaya the 14th AFU Mechanized Brigade formed assault detachments for a diversionary attack.

▪️ In the #Svatovo sector, the enemy command is moving forces into the #Borovaya area for another offensive against #Raygorodka.

▪️ In the #Lyman sector, units of the 66th Mechanized Brigade and 25th Airborne Brigade of the AFU undertook an assault on Russian positions near #Chervonopopovka, but were unsuccessful and withdrew.

▪️ In the #Lysychansk sector, Reconnaissance groupsof the Ukrainian 81st Airborne Brigade are operating on the front line, looking for weak points in the Russian defences.

#Lugansk People's Republic:

▪️ During the day, Ukrainian militants shelled #Alchevsk, #Svatovo, #Kremennaya and #Pervomaysk with HIMARS MLRS.

In #Alchevsk, residential buildings and the Metallurg Hotel were shelled.

Donetsk Direction (MAP):

▪️ Fighters of the DPR's People's Militia and 150th Motorized Rifle Division have advanced on the northern outskirts of #Maryinka and took control of boarding school No. 3.

Russian forces have also occupied several streets near Druzhba Avenue in the centre of the settlement and are clearing the outskirts of #Maryinka city council.

▪️ Ukrainian militants have shelled the #Donetsk agglomeration once again. #Donetsk, #Makeevka, #Yasynuvata, #Gorlovka and #Yelenovka came under fire.

#Ugledar Direction (MAP):

▪️ Russian forces liberated more than half of the village of #Pavlovka and took control of the crossing at #Kashgalach River. The AFU retain control of the state farm on the opposite river bank.

▪️ In the northeast, Russian forces are advancing south of #Novomikhailovka, success in this area will allow them to take control of the #Ugledar - #Konstantinovka road and launch an offensive on #Ugledar from the northeast.

▪️ An Ukrainian Mi-8 transport helicopter was shot down by Russian units in #Konstantinovka.

#Zaporozhye Direction:

▪️ In #Zaporozhye region, Russian forces engaged targets in #Olginskoye, #Gulyaypole and #Zaliznichnoye, as well as in #Nikopol district and #Marganets on the north bank of the #Dnipro River.

#Nikolaev - #Berislav Direction on Southern Front:

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💡 Massive Strike on #Ukraine's Infrastructure on 16 Dec 2022 - what is known by 12:00⚡️

The RF Armed Forces have launched another massive missile strike on targets across #Ukraine.

▪️ In Kiev, CHPP-5, CHPP-6 and Darnitskaya CHPP were hit again. The underground was stopped, electricity was partially lost and water supply stopped.

▪️ #Zaporozhye region was hit by at least 12 strikes, local authorities said. In occupied #Zaporozhye, electricity and water were partially lost.

The engine room of the #Dnipro HPP was hit.

▪️ In #Kharkov, ground transport and the metro have come to a complete halt. There are disruptions in mobile communications. Partially there is no light and water. 7 strikes have hit the regional centre and 3 in the region.

#Zalyutino 330kV substation and #Kharkov 330kV PS were most likely hit. The previous day, the RF struck at CHPP-5. However, CHPP-3, which supplies power to all industrial facilities, remained unharmed.

Judging by the reports of the strike in the #Chuguev district, the fire attack might have been on CHPP-2 Eskhar.

▪️ Light went out in #Poltava and the Poltava region. The #Kremenchuk 330kV PS is likely been hit again. The #Mirgorod 330kV PS is also suspected of being hit.

▪️ In #Dnipropetrovsk region, there were explosions in #Kamenskoye and the regional centre. #Prydniprovska TPP is likely been hit again - traffic on Yuzhny Bridge opposite the TPP is blocked. The Prometey 330kV PS in #Kamenskoye is suspected been hit.

Explosions also occurred in #Pavlograd (likely the 330kV Pavlograd PS). Boiler houses and water supply are suspended in the city.

In #KrivoyRog, locals reported an explosion. Water and light were lost in the city. We already wrote that the Krivoy Rog TPP was shut down 1 1/2 month ago. Therefore, it is likely that either the Kirovskaya 330kV or Yuzhnaya 330kV PS was hit. In terms of logic, the Kirovskaya 330kV PS is most likely been hit - it supplies the water supply system.

▪️ There was a blackout in the #Cherkasy region. This could have been caused by both, the Polanyi 330kV PS being hit and the entire 330kV line along the Dnipro River being de-energised.

▪️ In #Kirovograd region, the Ukrainka 330kV PS was most likely hit. Pumping stations are shut down and power is lost. Several railroad sections are de-energized.

But the fact that the entire oblast is switched off could indicate that the 330kV switchgear of the Southern Ukraine NPP is down.

▪️ There are strikes in #Nikolaev and the region. Locals report power outages.

▪️ There are explosions in the #Ternopil region. There is only one 330kV Ternopil PS in the entire region.

▪️ In #Vinnitsa, shocks were also recorded. The Vinnitsa 330kV PS may have been hit.

▪️ An infrastructure facility in the #Odessa region has been hit. Power is partially lost in the regional centre.

▪️ In #Zhytomyr region, the Lesnaya 330kV PS in Korosten is affected. The PS bypassed the #Chernobyl NPP switchyard and supplied power to #Kiev from the #Rivne and Khmelnytskyi NPPs.

▪️ In the #Volyn, #Lvov, #Rivne, #Sumy and #Kherson regions, emergency blackouts occurred.

This is a direct consequence of the strikes in other regions. The same #Sumy is dependent on #Kremenchuk and #Kiev. And due to strikes on the Lesnaya 330kV PS, the Rivne NPP reactors could have shut down.

🩸Although the missile strike cannot be called the most massive in recent months, the number of missiles fired and the geography of targets is still impressive.

This confirms the systematic nature of the firing.

A new story has emerged in the Ukrainian infofield. People in chat rooms convince each other that the power was cut off before the strikes in order to mislead the enemy. Some even write that PPs are stopped on purpose for the duration of the raid.

There is no practical sense to be gained from such measures. But the Ukrainians believe such fables and convinces one another that the strikes by the RF are ineffective.

And this is not the case!

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💡 Yesterday's strike on #Kharkov's #Zalyutino 330kV Substation⚡️

In addition to 👉 CHPP-5, a massive 👉 missile strike on #Ukraine's energy infrastructure by the RF Armed Forces in #Kharkov yesterday recorded has hit also the #Zalyutino 330kV substation.

Apparently, the purpose of the strikes this time was to deprive the substation of power transit.

The washed-out photos from the #Kharkov regional prosecutor's office show the #Zalyutino substation. This is the node of #Kharkov's 330kV power supply lines.

▪️ At least three craters from rocket explosions can be identified in the photo. And while one explosion clearly did not cause any damage, the other two were more effective.

▪️ At the substation, the building was destroyed (presumably 49.971254, 36.137683), switching equipment and reinforced concrete supports were destroyed. Concrete cable trays with control cables were damaged.

And that is by no means a complete list of the damage: a video that has appeared on the web today shows autotransformers destroyed in previous strikes.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💡 Night strike on CHP-5 in #Kharkov⚡️

💥 On the night of February 9-10, the RF Armed Forces launched a massive UAV Geran-2 strike against various targets in #Kharkov, and including energy infrastructure facilities.

One of the targets was CHPP-5 in the southwest of the city.

🔻 Based on the images in the footage, it is highly likely that the plant's engine room was hit, causing a major fire.

▪️ Serious damage to the engine room could cause the entire power plant to shut down for a long time.

▪️ CHPP-5, which plays a major role in #Kharkov's electricity supply, has previously been hit by auxiliary shops.

In addition, the RF Armed Forces have previously struck at the #Zalyutino 330 substation, through which electricity was distributed, including from CHPP-5.

Apparently, the #Zalyutino substation was able to partially restore the 110 kV distribution network and connect CHPP-5 to the city through it.

▪️ Following the overnight strikes, local authorities said there were power outages and lengthened intervals for the underground.

Coordinates: 49.970046, 36.106885
