Most Of Kyiv Without Water After Russian Strikes Hit Ukraine

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said that 80% of consumers in the city of 3 million people were left without water because of damage to a power facility.

A massive barrage of Russian strikes on Monday morning hit critical infrastructure in Kyiv, Kharkiv and other cities, knocking out water and power supplies in apparent retaliation for what Moscow alleged was a Ukrainian attack on its Black Sea Fleet over the weekend.

Russia's Defense Ministry said its forces carried out “strikes with long-range high-precision air and sea-based weapons against the military command and energy systems of Ukraine.”

"The goals of the strikes were achieved. All designated targets were hit,” the ministry said in a statement.
