According to Fedorov, due to the destruction of the energy facility, the following were left without power:

All services are already working at the impact sites. In particular, volunteers have joined the efforts to eliminate the consequences. "Points of Invincibility" have been set up in the city.

During the first shelling, terrorists used Shahed-type drones against the city. In the morning, the enemy attacked with ballistic missiles.

As of now, 25 civilians are known to be injured, including a two-month-old boy. Another person has died.

Shelling of Ukraine

Since the start of the full-scale war, Russian terrorists have regularly resorted to shelling Ukraine, using various types of missiles, guided aerial bombs (KAB), drones, and artillery. Civil infrastructure is often the target, which poses a serious threat to civilians.

Moreover, almost every night, the enemy launches drones. For instance, on the night of January 22, Russians launched 99 drones at Ukraine from six directions.
