There have been reports of hits to critical infrastructure facilities in Kharkiv and Lviv regions.

Maksims Kozickis, head of the military administration of the Lviv region, reports that power and water supply interruptions are possible after the hit to the infrastructure object in the Lviv region.

Oleh Sinehubov, the chairman of the Kharkiv region’s military administration, also reports that two Russian missiles have hit one of the region’s infrastructure facilities and that an emergency disconnection of the electricity supply is underway.

Meanwhile, the Office of the President of Ukraine reports that a missile from Dnipro invaders hit a high-rise residential building. At least one stairwell has collapsed, and people are trapped under the rubble.

Valentin Reznichenko, head of the military administration of Dnipropetrovsk region, says that at least five people were killed, and 27, including six children, were injured. All the victims were taken to the hospital.

So far, it has been possible to save at least 15 people under the rubble.

The mayor of Dnipro Boriss Filatovs reports that as a result of the shooting, the electricity supply to a whole district of the city has been cut off.

Meanwhile, in the Ivanofrankivsk region, as a result of the shooting, a fire broke out at one of the energy facilities, reports Svitlana Onishchenko, the head of the military administration of the region.

There are no reports of victims.

Ukrainian anti-aircraft gunners managed to shoot down two Russian missiles over the Ivanofrankivsk region.

Explosions were also heard in Kyiv again in the afternoon.

As reported, Kyiv was subjected to rocket fire already on Saturday morning.

Although the Russians managed to hit one of the infrastructure objects, there have been no reports of casualties in the morning firefight.

In the Kyiv region, 28 residential houses were damaged during the morning shooting, but there were no casualties.

In the morning, the Russians are believed to have used ballistic missiles to shell Kyiv, as an air alert was issued just minutes after the first explosions.

During the afternoon shelling, thanks to the successful operation of anti-aircraft artillery, the Russians did not manage to hit any of the infrastructure objects of the capital of Ukraine.

The Minister of Energy of Ukraine, Herman Halushchenko, announced that as a result of Saturday’s shootings, energy infrastructure facilities were damaged in six regions – Kharkiv, Lviv, Ivanofrankivsk, Zaporizhzhia, Vinnytsia and Kyiv.

After Saturday’s missile attack on Ukraine, the Moldovan border police have found the remains of a missile again in their territory near the Ukrainian border. This is already the third such incident since Russia launched its repeated invasion of Ukraine.
