In Lukianivka, a main pipeline was damaged due to Russia's attack, causing a water leak. As a result, streets and roads were flooded.

Specialists from Kyivvodokanal have localized the pipeline damage. Pressure in the network is gradually being restored, but some consumers are still without water supply.
