"Five people were injured in the capital as a result of an opponent's attack. Among them was a 14-year-old girl," Klitschko wrote on Telegram. He added that the Northern Bridge over the Dnieper was damaged. Traffic on it has been closed. Apartments, houses and cars were also damaged. The Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office published the photos this morning.

"As a result of the enemy's night attack, energy facilities in the Kiev and Zhytomyr oblasts were damaged. There is an extremely difficult situation regarding the energy supply of the capital. This translates into the operation of heating and water supply networks," wrote the mayor of Kiev.

In the city, "red" air alerts, which indicate ballistic missile attacks, were announced from midnight to 4 a.m. (i.e. 3 a.m. Polish time). Loud explosions were heard in Kiev.

After Russian attacks on the night from Friday to Saturday, residents of the city of Chernihiv, north of Kiev, were completely cut off from electricity.

"Attention! Currently, the city of Chernihiv is completely without electricity. (...) Due to the lack of electricity supply, the movement of electric public transport vehicles has been suspended," announced the local city council.
