Quote from Lysak: "Parts of the city are without electricity, water and heating due to the enemy attack."
Details: Kiper reported that Russian forces had once again targeted civilian and energy infrastructure in the oblast.
The attack caused warehouses belonging to a logistics company to catch fire in one of the settlements.
Lysak later reported that high-rise residential buildings had been hit in two districts of the city. Apartments caught fire in one building.
Updated: Lysak reported on the morning of 31 December that the number of people injured had risen to six, including three children.
A seven-month-old baby, a 14-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl are in a moderate condition, while a 42-year-old man is in a critical condition.
All those injured have been taken to hospital.
"Part of the city is without electricity. Repair work is ongoing at several critical infrastructure facilities, which means some residents are temporarily without water and heating," Lysak added.
