A mass Russian drone attack has partly cut power in Kryvyi Rih, where city authorities say generators are stabilising water and sewage systems and heating will be harder to restore.
Oleksandr Vilkul, head of Kryvyi Rih’s Defence Council, said the attack left parts of the city without electricity. He said water and sewage services were being stabilised on generator power, while heating posed a greater challenge. Ukrainska Pravda reported his remarks from social media.
Vilkul also reported damage to apartment buildings, schools and kindergartens. He said emergency teams from energy and municipal services were working on the aftermath. Ukrinform separately reported partial electricity and heating disruption, along with damage to homes, schools and kindergartens.
The immediate story is therefore not only the power cut. Generator support can keep critical water and sewage systems operating during the emergency response, but the city’s own assessment places heating at the more difficult stage of recovery. That distinction matters for residents as repair crews work on damaged services.
The reports do not specify affected districts, the number of customers without services or a timetable for restoring electricity and heating. They also contain no information on casualties or the extent of damage to critical infrastructure.
