Recall that in Murmansk Oblast, a state of heightened readiness was introduced due to the power outage. Such a decision was made at a meeting of the operational headquarters. Street lighting in Murmansk was temporarily switched off.
The press service of Rosseti Severo-Zapad reported that the cause of the outage was a technological failure on an overhead power line. Later it became known that five supports collapsed. Trolleybuses in Murmansk changed their routes.
The prosecutor«s office of Murmansk Oblast has already launched an investigation due to the mass power outages. A criminal case has been initiated, and in the Leninsky District, rotational power cuts were introduced.
Residents of Murmansk were told where they can go to warm up and charge electronic devices. And city entrepreneurs are ready to provide food from their main menu at a discount.
Efforts to eliminate the consequences of the accident continue, Rosseti Severo-Zapad brought additional snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles to the emergency site. Meanwhile, the region is experiencing communication disruptions. Major city hotels have already joined in to help residents, where they can charge devices and eat at a discount.
