Details: The city's water supply systems are now operating as usual.
"Due to the attacks, water supply on the left bank was partially suspended and water pressure was reduced in some areas on the right bank. Experts have promptly brought the facilities back online and restored water supply services," Kyivvodokanal said.
A number of media outlets and Telegram channels reported that Kyivvodokanal's office has been damaged in the attack. The utility has neither officially confirmed nor denied these reports.
Background:
- In August, Denys Shmyhal, First Deputy Prime Minister and Energy Minister, said that in addition to attacks on Ukraine's energy system and heating infrastructure, Russia would seek to deprive Ukrainian cities of water supplies.
- Eighteen people, including two children, were injured in a Russian attack on Kyiv on the night of 16-17 September. Damage was caused to residential buildings, educational institutions, offices, filling stations, warehouses, vehicles and railway infrastructure facilities.
