The Ukrainian city of Kharkiv has lost water and electricity supplies due to renewed Russian shelling, which the mayor says is nearing the city center.
"The situation from last night has been repeated. Due to shelling, critical infrastructure facilities have been put out of action, and as a result, power has gone out in Kharkiv and the water supply was cut off," Mayor Ihor Terekhov said in a post on Telegram on September 12.
Engineers and work crews had just restored power and water supplies after overnight shelling had disrupted them, Terekhov said, adding that information on the extent of the damage and possible casualties was still being gathered.
"The shelling...is nearing the city center. Rescuers and public utilities are working to eliminate the consequences of the shelling," he said.
