Russia attacked power facilities in Ukraine: how it affected the system and where there are outages

The morning missile attack by the terrorist country of Russia on March 24 did not significantly affect the operation of the power system. At the same time, UAVs attacked power facilities in Dnipropetrovs'k region.
