Quote: "All night long, the terrorist state attacked Ukraine with drones and ballistic and cruise missiles. During the night, 60 enemy drones were shot down in the region. In Kryvyi Rih, a cruise missile hit a civilian infrastructure facility. Early reports indicate one person has been injured, not seriously, suffering minor concussion."
Details: Vilkul also said that all city services, public transport, hospitals and social institutions are operating.
"Electricity is available, but the energy situation may be difficult – the energy network is interconnected, and damage in some regions can affect others. Keep a supply of water at home, and ensure your devices and power banks are charged. All invincibility centres in the city are operational," he added. [Invincibility centres are heated premises stocked with food and power banks to assist residents facing hardships due to power cuts – ed.]
