Ukraine-Russia war latest: ‘Massive’ missile strikes leave most of Kyiv without water
Some 80 percent of Kyiv residents are without water and 350,000 homes have no electricity after “massive” Russian strikes hit the capital on Monday.
“Currently, due to the emergency situation in Kyiv, 80 percent of consumers remain without water supply,” the city’s mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Telegram.
“Engineers are also working to restore power to 350,000 homes in Kyiv that were left without electricity,” he said. Kyiv has a population of about 3 million.
At least five explosions were heard in the Ukrainian capital between 8am and 8.20am local time and smoke could be seen rising from ruined buildings.
Regional authorities in northern, eastern and central Ukraine also reported missile strikes.
“Russian losers continue waging war on civilian facilities,” said Andriy Yermak, President Volodymyr Zelensky’s chief of staff.
