Alexander Vilkul, the mayor of Kryvyi Rih, said on his Telegram channel that an energy infrastructure facility was destroyed in the city.
According to him, a regime of emergency and emergency power cuts is implemented in Krivoy Rog.
“Krivoy Rog. Energy infrastructure facility destroyed… Energy engineers initiated an emergency and emergency shutdown regime,” he said.
He added that there are problems with water supply in the city. Whenever possible, systems run on generators.
Earlier, the national company “Ukrenergo” declared a state of emergency as the combined energy system lost more than 50% of its consumption. This means the start of system failure mode. There is a significant capacity gap in Ukraine’s energy system.
Before that, the Kharkov authorities reported about massive infrastructure destruction after rocket attacks.
On the morning of December 16, an airstrike alert was issued across Ukraine.
