A Russian attack on Kryvyy Rih has damaged heating networks and a power line. Several boiler houses in the city were shut down due to the voltage drop.

As a result, six hospitals, more than 150 educational institutions and 3,000 homes with a total population of 76,000 people were left without heating, the head of the regional military administration, Serhiy Lysak, said on Telegram.

One of the medical institutions also experienced power outages, but supply has been restored.

"The aggressor also targeted critical infrastructure in Nikopol District. The wreckage of a downed drone damaged a power facility. More than 3,000 customers in Nikopol and more than 6,400 in the district lost power. The power supply has been restored," said the head of the regional military administration.

Russia shelled Nikopol District twice with heavy artillery. Marhanets and the Pokrovske village community were affected.

Last night, the Russian army launched another air attack on Ukraine. It used cruise missiles and attack UAVs. Again, it targeted the energy infrastructure.
