⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💡 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!

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💡@Rybar: Consequences of RF Strikes on Ukraine's Energy Infrastructure⚡️

Two days after the massive 👉 fire attack on 16 Dec, the effectiveness of Russian strikes can be assessed.

The aim was to cut off the large cities of #Kiev, #Kharkov, #Odessa, #Dnepropetrovsk and #Zaporozhye from power supply.

▪️ #Kharkov and Poltava: TEC-5, the Zalyutino 330kV PS and TEC-2 Eskhar were hit.
CHPP-5 was effectively shut down.
All autotransformers at the Zalyutino PS were destroyed and high-voltage equipment was damaged.
The 110 kV switchgear at TETs-2 was hit.
The power supply was restored by the following day. The remaining unscathed CHPP-3, generating about 86 MW, cannot supply all of Kharkov with electricity. It is likely that power supply is via the switchyard of the Zmievskaya TPP.
To prevent this scenario, the Kremenchuk 330kV and Mirgorod 330kV PSs were likely hit, causing blackouts in the Poltava region. But the damage seems to be non-critical and electricity transit through the Poltava 330kV PS was restored by the morning.

▪️ #Kiev and #Zhytomyr: missiles hit CHPP-5, CHPP-6 and the Lesnaya 330kV PS
Electricity was restored in part of the districts (exception Brovary). Indirectly, this indicates that CHPP-6 is out of service.
Despite the preservation of generation from the #Kiev HPP, the situation could not be rectified - probably due to earlier strikes on the 110kV Vyshgorod PS.
The strike on the Lesnaya 330kV PS near Korostenya interrupted electricity transit from the Rivne NPP to Kiev via the 330kV switchyard of the #Chernobyl NPP.

▪️ #Dnepropetrovsk: repeated strikes on the Prydniprovska TPP. The Dneprovska TPP in Dneprodzerzhynsk (Kamenskoye) and the Pavlogradska 330kV PS are presumed to have been hit.
Light in Dnepropetrovsk region has not yet been restored. The power system of #Dnepropetrovsk itself has been badly damaged as a result of previous strikes.

▪️ #Zaporozhye: Dnepr HPP hit
Despite the strikes on Machine Hall 1 and the 330kV switchyard, the city's power supply has not been severely affected. Apparently, it is still possible to transmit power through the Zaporozhye 750kV PS from the South Ukraine NPP.

▪️ #Odessa: impacts on PSs in city and region
The consequences have been partially mitigated. Although electric transport in the city is not working, the Christmas tree has already been triumphantly lit in Odessa.

▪️ #KrivoyRog: probably strikes at the Kirovskaya 330kV substation.
The situation is complicated because of the Krivoy Rog TPP: if it is running, it is far from full capacity. Electricity supply in the city has not yet been fully restored.

▪️ In other regions, power supply is being restored, but with limitations and emergency schedules. In #Lvov, Sumy and #Rovno oblasts, blackouts occurred in response to strikes in other regions.

🔻 Strikes on PPs and PSs are having their effect, but so far they are not bringing the end result.

Ukrainian power engineers are busy patching up holes and collecting emergency schemes. But the capacity reserves of the energy system in several regions have already run out - nothing can be done about it.

The railways have been badly affected, with electric trains at a standstill. There are clearly not enough diesel locs to remedy the situation. Some passenger trains are delayed for up to 14 hours.

For the first time, the national state of electricity emergency has been declared.

The timing of the restoration indirectly points to problems with the accuracy of the strikes: missiles sometimes strike not important buildings and circuit breakers, but vacant lots, leaving huge craters. Damage like this can only be done to insulators and wires, which are then repaired in 12 hours.

🩸 But strikes on critical technological units of TPPs, CHPPs and HPPs must continue. Particular attention should be paid to Zmiivska TPP as the main node on which Kharkov's power supply currently rests, as well as TPP-3, which is responsible for powering industrial facilities.

♦️#NorthUkraine (MAP):

▪️ In the #Kharkov region, the enemy is conducting reconnaissance in the border areas by UAV calculations and sabotage and reconnaissance groups.
According to some reports, the AFU may attempt an offensive against the #Belgorod region in the last weeks of February, coinciding with the anniversary of the start of the SMO.

▪️ In the #Sumy region, Ukrainian engineering units are mining the area along the border in anticipation of a possible renewed Russian offensive.

▪️ In the #Kiev region, British and American mercenaries from among former servicemen are operating in the #Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.

▪️ In the Transcarpathian and #Chernigov regions, additional units of the AFU are being staffed and intensively trained.

♦️#Starobelsk Direction (MAP):

▪️ In the #Kupyansk - #Svatovo section, Russian troops have encircled one of the units of the 32nd Composite Battalion of the Territorial Defence at the #Dvurechnoye - #Gryanikovka line.
The enemy command requested additional forces to deblock the militants.
In addition, in case of a possible breakthrough by the Russians, the Ukrainians mined the bridges in #Kolodyoznoye and #Monachinovka.

▪️ In the #Liman sector, Russian fighters of the 144th Motorized Rifle Division are advancing on enemy positions with the support of armoured vehicles.
Along the front line from #Podliman to #Izyum, at least four HIMARS MLRS crews, supplied from #Balakleya, are active.

♦️#Soledar Direction (MAP):

▪️ In the #Soledar area, Wagner PMC fighters are advancing from #Blagodatnoye to #Paraskoviyevka and Krasnaya Gora and have taken control of two AFU strongholds.
In order to hold the settlements, the AFU command is rotating and moviing additional units of the 4th Tank Brigade to the area.

▪️ In #Bakhmut (#Artyomovsk), the "Wagnerians" are attacking enemy positions in the eastern outskirts near the local meat processing plant and Zabakhmutovka.

▪️ Southwest of #Bakhmut, Russian forces are advancing towards #Krasnoye and the village of #Stupochka, pushing through the defences of the AFU's 3rd Separate Assault and the 116th Territorial Defence Brigades.

♦️#Donetsk Direction (MAP):

▪️ In the #Avdeyevka area, Russian assault units are advancing from the direction of #Opytnoye and #Vodyanoye on the #Severnoye village. A large AFU stronghold has been set up in the settlement.
At the same time, the RF Armed Forces managed to advance towards #Nevelskoye, dislodging enemy units from their strongholds on the approaches to the village.

📌 The capture of #Vodyanoye and #Nevelskoye will allow to take #Pervomayskoye from the south and north.

▪️ In #Maryinka intense fighting continues. The liberation of the town is complicated due to the uninterrupted AFU supply and reinforcements.

▪️ In the #Ugledar sector, fighting is taking place in the private sector southeast of #Ugledar. The enemy regrouped and attempted to dislodge the RF Armed Forces from the territory, but the marines of the 155th Pacific Fleet Brigade repulsed the attack and pushed the militants back.

▪️ Ukrainian forces have set up a field hospital near the South Donbass mine, where some of the militants have been withdrawn. Other AFU units retreated deep into #Ugledar, and all approaches to the city have been mined.
The Russian fighters launched an offensive towards the mine from the #Nikolskoye side, pushing through the enemy defences. A takeover of the road near the mine will threaten the supply of the AFU to #Ugledar.
