In Kyiv, after a night of combined Russian strikes, 5,635 high-rise buildings remain without heat, and the entire left bank of the capital is without water, according to the Kyiv mayor, Vitali Klitschko.
"After the Russian attack on the capital, 5,635 high-rise buildings are without heat. Almost 80 percent of them are buildings where heat supply was restored on January 9," Klitschko says.
According to him, as of yesterday evening, 16 out of 6,000 buildings remained without heat due to damage to critical infrastructure by the enemy on January 9.
"The left bank is still without a water supply as a result of the Russian attack. Utility workers and energy companies are working to restore heat, water, and electricity to the homes of Kyiv residents," the mayor adds.
He also reports that one person injured in the Dniprovskyi district as a result of the Russian attack is in Kyiv in one of the capital's hospitals.
Russian strikes on Ukraine on January 20
On the night of January 20, Russia again attacked Kyiv with ballistic missiles and drones. Powerful explosions were heard in the city, and power and water outages were reported.
As a result of the Russian strikes, the metro system in Kyiv is temporarily adjusting its operations due to the consequences of the attacks and the challenging electricity supply situation, which has impacted train schedules on some lines.
Also, as a result of a massive Russian attack on the Bucha district of the Kyiv region, a 50-year-old man was fatally wounded. Doctors fought for his life, but unfortunately, they were unable to save him. The man died at the scene. In addition, explosions were reported in Rivne, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipro, Kharkiv, and several other cities.
