Details
Mayor Ihor Terekhov reported that residential buildings, shops, and several cars were damaged as a result of the shelling. Despite the large-scale attack, there were no casualties among the civilian population.
Emergency crews of "Kharkivoblenergo" and city utility services are working to eliminate the consequences. According to the mayor, specialists are doing everything possible to restore electricity supply as soon as possible.
Overall, we managed to maintain the water supply to Kharkiv residents' homes, but in some places, locally, due to a lack of electricity, there may be no hot water – "KHTM" specialists are already working on solving such problems.

Due to damage to the energy facility, there were also difficulties in the operation of public transport. Trams and trolleybuses partially stopped in the Kholodnohirskyi and Shevchenkivskyi districts, but compensatory buses quickly entered the routes.
Terekhov thanked rescuers, energy workers, utility workers, and medics for their work during the attack and emphasized: despite the enemy's attempts to break the city with strikes, Kharkiv will stand.
