Fires broke out at two energy facilities in Ukraine due to abnormal heat.

This is reported by the Ministry of Energy.

In particular, in one of the western regions, 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.

Another damage occurred at a high-voltage substation. This led to the de-energization 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.

Forecasters predict that on July 15, the heat in Ukraine may reach +41 °С (in the south, as well as in the Vinnytsia, Kirovohrad and Dnipropetrovsk regions). +29-34 °C is expected in the west.
