Lviv mayor: Missile attack leads to temporary gas shutdown for some residents in Lviv Oblast

An automatic gas supply safety shutdown system was triggered in the settlement of Rudno in the Lviv hromada after a Russian missile attack, temporarily cutting off gas supplies to some consumers.

Details: Sadovyi said that for safety reasons, gas supply has been cut off for 376 consumers on several streets.

Quote: "This is not a network emergency – it's the safety shutdown system that was triggered by the blast wave.

Engineers are already working on site and checking the equipment. Gas supply will be restored afterwards.

Thank you to residents for their understanding."
