More than a thousand apartments have been affected.

"As of now, heat supply has already been restored to households. Work is ongoing to restore electricity, gas and water supply. All residents who are in need and do not have the opportunity to remain in apartments are offered shelters for temporary stay - in dormitories, schools, and kindergartens across the city," said Artiukh.
