Several critical infrastructure facilities in Kyiv have been left without power following a Russian air attack, causing disruptions to the city's water supply.

According to Ukrinform, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported this on Telegram .

"Following a Russian strike that knocked out power at several critical infrastructure facilities, water pressure in the capital's supply system has dropped, and the system is currently experiencing disruptions," he wrote, adding that energy workers were working to restore power.
