Power engineers are working and doing everything possible to restore power supply as quickly as possible." [A hromada is an administrative unit designating a village, several villages, or a town, and their adjacent territories – ed.]

Details: Fedorov added that a fire broke out as a result of the strike.

Boiler houses in Vilniansk are currently operating on generators. Centralised water supply is also being ensured through backup power.
