Donetsk grid collapse: 151,352 customers without power after substation shutdown

A partial automatic shutdown of 1,169 transformer substations has left all districts of Donetsk without electricity, affecting 151,352 customers, according to Mayor Aleksey Kulemzin. The cause is not specified, but the scale suggests a systemic grid failure, likely linked to ongoing conflict-related infrastructure damage. This is a continuation of chronic power instability in the region, though the citywide scope marks a notable escalation in service disruption.
