Situation in Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions
As a result of the enemy attack, a critical infrastructure facility was damaged in Dnipropetrovsk region, leading to power outages. In this regard, it was decided to switch all city hospitals in Dnipro to generators. Wastewater management in homes is supported by alternative power sources. To ensure public transportation in the city, electric transport will be replaced by buses. In Dnipropetrovsk region, school holidays have been extended until January 9 inclusive.
In Zaporizhzhia region, the situation is improving: water supply and power supply for medical facilities are gradually being restored. All boiler houses in Zaporizhzhia region are receiving electricity, which contributes to the stabilization of energy supply. More than 200 residents of Zaporizhzhia have sought help at resilience points where they are offered the opportunity to warm up with hot tea, charge their gadgets, and stay overnight in warmth and safety.
