0 min read

Following Russia’s ongoing mass missile attack against Ukraine, Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovy reported at around 10 a.m. local time that 90% of the city is without electricity.

The mayor said that the water supply might be interrupted as well. Critical infrastructure facilities will work on power generators, he added.

Sadovy reported explosions in Lviv earlier this morning amid Russia's new massive bombardment of Ukraine. He did not provide any details. Lviv Oblast Governor Maksym Kozytsky confirmed that air defense has been active and urged the citizens to remain in shelters.

"Russian military personnel know exactly where their drones are headed and how long they can stay in the air," President Volodymyr Zelensky said, commenting on the attacks. "The routes are always calculated. This cannot be an accident, a mistake, or the initiative of some lower-level commanders."

It is the third time Russian forces have used pipelines as a tactic, which they first adopted during the Battle of Avdiivka. Back in March, around 100 troops passed through a gas pipeline to reach Ukrainian positions in Sudzha, in Russia’s Kursk Oblast.
