In addition, specialists are assessing the extent of the damage to the energy infrastructure and will begin emergency restoration work, taking the security situation into account.
Attacks on Kherson
Russian forces regularly shell Kherson, using drones and other means of attack.
A little over a week ago, the head of the Kherson Military-Civilian Administration, Oleksandr Tolokonnikov, reported that the Kherson CHP (Combined Heat and Power Plant) is under constant Russian fire. As a result, services were unable to begin addressing the aftermath.
In addition, at noon on Christmas, the Russian forces carried out a massive attack on the city center. The city market was hit while people were present there.
Earlier, RBC-Ukraine reported on how people are living in Kherson, given that Russia regularly attacks the city with drones.
