Bunechko's direct speech: "The enemy continues to terrorize the Zhytomyr region. In the last hours, three of the four districts of the region have been hit by Russian drones: Korostensky, Zvyahelsky, and Zhytomyrsky.
"Currently, the most affected by Russian attacks are critical infrastructure facilities - heat and energy supply in the Zhytomyr community. Because of this, some houses may experience interruptions in centralized heating while the consequences of enemy strikes are being eliminated."
Details: In particular, the Russian attack damaged equipment in one of the boiler houses in Zhytomyr. The heat supply to the houses it serves has been suspended.
Russian UAVs also completely destroyed the Ovruch electrical substation.
"Restoring power supply will take a considerable amount of time. I ask everyone to be prepared for a long absence of light," Korud noted.
There has been no information about casualties from the shelling so far. Repair work is ongoing.
