Lviv Oblast experienced the most significant impact, with 305 settlements left without power, of which 184 were partially affected.
In Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast, 72 settlements lack electricity, while in Ternopil Oblast, 67 settlements (including nine partially affected) are facing power outages. Additionally, 50 settlements in Khmelnytskyi Oblast and three in Zakarpattya Oblast are without electricity.
Prykarpattyaoblenerho Energy Company reported 47 settlements completely without electricity and 54 partially affected as of the morning.

Due to weather conditions, 1,700 consumers remain without electricity in Odesa Oblast, and another 4,000 due to technical issues. All of them should have power restored by the end of the day, the ministry notes.
