"The enemy is once again trying to undermine us by deliberately targeting the energy sector and people's daily lives. Russian criminals are waging a war against life itself," Kalashnik said.
According to him, following the morning attack, the city was temporarily left without centralized power supply, leaving nearly 21,000 residents without electricity.
Currently, utility workers are already working to restore power. Critical infrastructure has been switched to backup power sources. Heating and water supply are secured, and social services are operating thanks to generators.
At the same time, communication and internet remain available, and resilience centers are open and ready to receive residents.
Despite the attack, efforts to stabilize the situation and assist residents continue in the city.
