Water restored in Kyiv after Russian attacks, most residents remain without power

Nov. 24 (UPI) -- The supply of clean drinking water in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv was restored on Thursday but is not yet at total capacity after a series of Russian missile attacks, officials said.

Civilian infrastructure in the capital and other major cities around the country were targeted a day earlier in a widespread Russian missile attack -- the latest in what Ukraine calls deliberate attacks on everyday Ukrainians ahead of the usually bitter winter season.

Russian missiles badly damaged electrical and water infrastructure throughout the Kyiv region, leaving it without electricity and water.

"Water supply has been restored in all districts of the capital," Kyiv Mayor Vitalii Klitschko said. "But it will take some time for the water supply system to work at full capacity."
