According to the official, Krivoy Rog has been shelled by the enemy for more than 10 hours with both missiles and drones.

The destruction of administrative buildings, business facilities, two educational institutions, a cultural institution and cars was also recorded.
All operational and communal services were immediately sent to the sites of the blows. Fires were liquidated, 27 brigades and more than 20 units of equipment were involved in the work. Utility workers are helping residents to close the broken windows, and in the future it is planned to glaze and repair damaged roofs - there are 13 of them.
The latest data, because of the blows without power supply remain almost 10 thousand subscribers, restoration work is underway. Boiler houses have been launched, but the heat set is going on gradually. Water supply is working partly on generators, the pressure in the network has been reduced. Also the movement of high-speed streetcar and part of trolleybuses was temporarily stopped, but it was promptly restored.
To help the victims immediately deployed the Help Center, where residents can get construction materials (OSB, film, rails, etc.) and apply for material assistance. More than 70 families have already received the necessary materials, and 100 families have applied for monetary compensation.
"Great thanks to the State Emergency Service, police, medics, utility workers, energy workers and volunteers who work in extremely difficult conditions, often under repeated threat of shelling," - said Vilkul.
Despite the attacks, the city continues to work, hospitals and social institutions are functioning.
