Quote from Prokudin: "The power has gone out in Kherson. The causes are currently being investigated."

Details: A few minutes prior, Prokudin reported that a missile was headed towards Kherson.

He also urged the residents of the Korabelnyi district to evacuate due to damage caused to a bridge by a Russian strike earlier that evening.

"As a result of the enemy airstrike, logistics have become more complicated. Because of this,

it will be harder to bring in food as well as other resources. Moreover, the gas pipeline was damaged. So, the district will remain without ‘blue fuel’ for some time," Prokudin stated.

Meanwhile, Head of Mykolaiv Oblast Military Administration Vitalii Kim also reported a power outage. Before that, the Air Force of Ukraine reported that a missile was heading for Mykolaiv. 

"Some power outages have occurred in the city. We are investigating this," Kim stated.

He added that the Russian attack on Mykolaiv has caused a fire to break out in the city.

Updated: At 22:50, Prokudin reported that power engineers had already begun reconnecting consumers to the grid.
