Millions of Russians in the south of the country were left without electricity on Tuesday after a power unit at the Rostov nuclear power plant was shut down due to a malfunction.
The Rostov nuclear power plant supplies power to the Russia's entire Southern Federal District, and rolling power outages affected residents of Russia's Krasnodar Territory, Rostov region, Sevastopol, and Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula illegally annexed by President Vladimir Putin from Ukraine in 2014.
Russia's state-owned energy group Rosatom said one of the nuclear power plant's four power units was shut down due to a malfunction of the turbine generator.
"The reasons are being investigated; the radiation background is normal," a Rosatom representative told Reuters on Tuesday.

Russia was also hit by widespread power outages earlier this month after a Ukrainian drone barrage struck the country's Kursk, Belgorod, and Bryansk regions.
Kyiv's drone attacks left 90 percent of the Belgorod region, which borders Ukraine, without electricity and water, Telegram channel Mash, which says it is linked to Russia's security services, reported on July 1.
Ukraine's Energy Ministry said at the time that about 90 percent of the Belgorod region, including the cities of Belgorod and Stary Oskol, was without electricity.

"A power unit at the Rostov nuclear plant automatically shut down on Tuesday afternoon due to a “false alarm” in the turbine generator’s safety system, according to the state operator Rosenergoatom."
Five words never used together in the same sentence: “World Class Quality Russian Products.....”
“False alarm”? LOL!
You mean like our “invincible” Abrams tanks that Ukraine had to withdrew form the front lines?
WASHINGTON (AP) — Ukraine has sidelined U.S.-provided Abrams M1A1 battle tanks for now in its fight against Russia, in part because Russian drone warfare has made it too difficult for them to operate without detection or coming under attack, two U.S. military officials told The Associated Press.
It took him three days to get "new guidance" from his handlers - and he still hasn't mentioned the attempted assassination.
Unlike most REAL freepers...
Your beloved Putin is scared of President Trump.
The tanks are supposed to be used were they have air superiority, not trundling off on their own down some muddy road in the middle of the day.
“Interestingly, marcus the pud went offline from FR on Saturday before the attempted assassination of President Trump.”
Interesting. I was posting normally that day, as I had no idea it was coming. In fact, I was the #4 post on the initial thread regarding the shooting. I guess ‘they’ had to go dark to await the results and the fallout.
I got to hand it to you Maxi, you are brilliant!
Zero FR comments about the attempted Trump assassination in three days!
