The city in the Kursk region was cut off from electricity after the impact

In the Kursk region, the city of Zheleznogorosk, with a population of almost one hundred thousand people, remained without electricity and heat during the repair of a substation damaged by an airstrike. This was reported by the head of the region, Roman Starovoyt.

According to the official, restoration work should be completed “within two hours”. Earlier, Starovoit claimed that due to the “air attack from the Armed Forces of Ukraine”, several settlements were left without electricity. No injuries were reported as a result of the attack on the substation.

Telegram channel “Ostrozhno, novosti”, referring to the words of local residents, reports that in some parts of Zheleznogorsk, shops, gas stations and ATMs have stopped working. There are problems with mobile communication. One of the employees of the machine-building plant “Vagonmash” in a conversation with the Telegram channel said that the company stopped working, and all the workers were sent home. “People are in a panic. Water is sold out in stores. And almost all stores are closed. There is a huge queue at the gas station,” “Ostorozhno, novosti” quotes one of the city’s residents.
