Fires occurred at energy facilities in western Ukraine due to heat

Due to the significant heat in Ukraine, fires occurred at energy facilities. Both happened in the west of the country.

This is reported by the Ministry of Energy.

"In the western region, a high-voltage overhead line was shut down due to a fire caused by the heat. The fire was extinguished, after which the line was put into operation," the message says.

In addition, a high-voltage substation was disconnected at night, which led to the blackout of the overhead line connecting the energy systems of Ukraine and Moldova.

"Due to the heat, a fire broke out on the territory of the substation, which was extinguished," the Ministry of Energy added.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, Ukraine will be hit by the peak of extreme heat. The forecaster named the dates of maximum temperatures and cooling.

Strong heat is expected throughout Ukraine at the beginning of the week, short-term rains only in the west.
