Three die from generator fumes in Kyiv Oblast during power outages

Three people, including a child, died from carbon monoxide poisoning in Chupyra, a village south of Kyiv, on November 8.

Ukraine’s State Emergency Service said the fumes came from a generator running in the home’s basement.

The generator was used indoors instead of outside at a safe distance, and another child in the home was hospitalized.

Power and water outages have been prolonged in Kyiv and the surrounding region.

Russia has intensified attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, and millions of people are relying on generators for electricity and heat.

The attacks have left more than 600,000 people without power in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, while Kyiv’s water system also faces a growing risk of a sewage crisis this winter.
