Russian strikes overnight cut heating to nearly 2,600 residential buildings in Kyiv, in a nationwide attack that wounded around seven people and targeted energy facilities, officials said Thursday.
"After last night's massive attack, due to damage to critical infrastructure targeted by the enemy, nearly 2,600 more buildings in the capital have been left without heat," the mayor of Kyiv, Vitaliy Klitschko, said.
More than 1,000 of the capital's approximately 12,000 apartment blocks were already without heating after massive Russian attacks over the last few weeks.
