DTEK says power restored to 750,000 Kyiv households

Ukraine's leading private energy provider said on Sunday that it had restored power to nearly 750,000 households in Kyiv a day after a Russian air attack had forced emergency outages.



A combined missile and drone attack early on Saturday had killed two people and left more than a million households in and around the capital without power.

In a statement, DTEK said consumers on Kyiv's right bank were back to planned power cuts but that the situation remained "more difficult" on the left bank, where emergency outages were still in force.



Russia has stepped up its massive strikes on Ukraine's energy system in recent weeks as it presses ahead with a battlefield offensive amid a U.S.-led peace effort to end the nearly four-year-old war.
