Over 1,900 homes in Kyiv left without heating after Russian strike

Utility workers are working to restore heating to apartment buildings as quickly as possible.

In total, nearly 2,700 buildings in Kyiv are currently without heat, including those previously disconnected from heating in the Darnytskyi and Dniprovskyi districts due to damage to the Darnytska thermal power plant. It is currently impossible to supply heat to those buildings, Klitschko added.

Explosions were heard in Kyiv overnight on March 7 as air defenses were activated. The Kyiv City Military Administration said the capital was targeted by Shahed drones and ballistic missiles. Three people were injured, and debris was reported falling in several areas.
