On the morning of Monday Oct. 31, Russia launched another wave of missile attacks against Ukrainian critical infrastructure. The weapons targeted the power grid and knocked entire city districts offline. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said some areas of the capital were left without electricity and 80 percent of Kyiv residents were left without a water supply.

“Currently, due to the emergency situation in Kyiv, 80 percent of consumers remain without water,” the city’s mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Telegram. “Engineers are also working to restore power to 350,000 homes in Kyiv that were left without electricity.”

Kyiv city authorities have asked citizens to stock up on water.

“Please stock up on water from the nearest pump rooms and points of sale. Specialists are doing everything possible to return water to the apartments of Kyiv residents,” stated an official message of the Kyiv administration.
