Heat Restored Across Kyiv Following Russian Missile Strike

Heat has been fully restored to Kyiv’s homes, schools, and hospitals after Russian missile strikes left over 600 buildings without heating.

Heat supply across Kyiv has been fully restored following a missile attack by Russian forces, Kyiv City Military Administration (KCMA) announced on Saturday. The strikes disrupted heating to hundreds of residential and public buildings, but city services worked swiftly to repair the damage.

Kyivteploenergo, the city’s energy provider, confirmed that heating has been reinstated to all affected facilities. This includes 630 residential buildings, 16 medical institutions, 17 schools, and 13 kindergartens, which were left without heating after the attacks.

“Kyivteploenergo has restored heat supply to absolutely all consumers who were left without heat due to yesterday’s morning missile attack by Russian troops,” KCMA stated in its report.

The previous day’s missile strike targeted critical infrastructure, damaging a key heating main and leaving parts of the city without essential heating services. Local authorities acted promptly to address the crisis, ensuring repairs were completed within hours despite the significant scale of the disruption.

The attack comes as Kyiv faces freezing winter temperatures, underscoring the vulnerability of Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure to continued Russian aggression. However, the rapid restoration of heat demonstrates the resilience of the city’s emergency response teams in the face of ongoing challenges.
