Zaporizhzhia is working to eliminate the aftermath of last night’s Russian airstrike. Electricity has already been restored for most residents, and efforts are underway to resume gas supply, according to Ivan Fedorov, head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration.
"Today, energy workers have been working non-stop. So far, electricity has been restored to most consumers, but repairs are still ongoing," Fedorov said.
As for gas supply, three apartment buildings and 32 private houses damaged by the strikes remain disconnected for safety reasons. "Specialists will restore gas service once all systems are inspected and repaired," he added.
