Quote from SESU: "The enemy has fired more than 10 missiles on Kharkiv, and some areas of the city are experiencing power outages. The aftermath of the attack is also being addressed in Odesa, Lviv, Zaporizhzhia, and Kyiv oblasts. Personnel and equipment from the State Emergency Service from neighbouring regions are involved."

Details: Reportedly, rescue workers are ready to promptly deploy mobile generator stations. Invincibility centres are operating at fire and rescue units and police units – with electricity and access to the network. At the same time, it is noted that traffic near the sites of attack clean-up may be restricted (invincibility centre is a warm-up point with Internet access, tea and coffee; thousands of such points have been established all over Ukraine-controlled territory since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion).
