“New kindergartens and schools have been hit,” Fidanian said. “Staff have already begun cleaning up. Some institutions will switch to remote learning.”
She added that a number of educational facilities would temporarily function as “Points of Invincibility” — designated centers providing heating, electricity, and shelter during blackouts or emergencies.
Earlier, Ukraine’s Energy Ministry reported that Russia carried out another large-scale nighttime attack on the country’s energy infrastructure using missiles and drones.
