"Russia carried out an aerial attack on Kyiv overnight, severing power and water supplies for thousands of residential buildings in the Ukrainian capital amid a temperature of minus 14 degrees Celsius (7 degrees Fahrenheit), the city's mayor said Tuesday. The drone and missile strikes hit the east bank of the Dnipro River on the night of Monday to Tuesday, Vitali Klitschko said. A 50-year-old man reportedly died in the attack, according to Kyiv regional governor Mykola Kalashnyk. The strikes also damaged two fuel stations, he added."
"The attack by Russian forces has left a total of 5,635 residential buildings in Kyiv without heating, Klitschko said in a statement posted on Telegram. He added that municipal and energy services are working to restore heating, water, and electricity in the city's homes. Energy company DTEK said over 335,000 Kyiv residents were left without electricity after the overnight Russian strikes. The latest Russian offensive comes only 10 days after Moscow mounted the worst attack on Kyiv's energy grid since the start of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022."
"Around 80% of the buildings affected in the latest strikes were those where the heat supply was being restored from the previous attack, Klitschko said.
