A substation was hit in Vladimir
A powerful explosion occurred at night on the outskirts of the Russian city of Vladimir. Local residents recorded the moment of the explosion on video and posted the footage on social media.
According to the "Krymsky veter" monitoring group, the explosion occurred in the village of Energetik. The strike hit an electrical substation.
The 750 kV "Vladimirskaya" substation is one of the largest and most powerful in Europe. Located in the Vladimir region, it is a strategic hub of Russia's Unified Energy System. It supplies electricity to the Central region, including Moscow, Vladimirskaya, Nizhny Novgorod and part of Ivanovskaya regions. The substation participates in the transmission of power from the Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant, the Kostroma State District Power Plant and other large energy sources, and also provides transit between the Centre and the Volga region. Its stable operation is critical to the reliability and balance of the Russian Federation's energy system.
