Ukraine Crisis
Russia strikes Ukraine’s Dnipro city for first time
The Ukrainian city of Cherniv has been left without water after Russian strikes hit local water supply networks
Local water agencies say it will take between three to four hours to repair the damage. It is also urging citizens to report any damaged water pipes.
It follows four explosions that were reported near an airfield in the northwestern city of Lutsk.
Three airstrikes by Russian forces also hit residential areas in Dnipro, killing one person, according to Ukraine’s State Emergency Service.
A district of Dnipro was also hit with three airstrikes, reportedly hitting near a kindergarten and an apartment building, and a two-story shoe factory.
It comes as a stalled 64-kilometer-long Russian convoy near Ukraine’s capital has largely dispersed.
Maxar technology satellite images show the Russian military convoy northwest of Kyiv which have now “largely dispersed and redeployed”
Maxar tech says some parts of the convoy have “repositioned” in forests, while others have been seen sitting on roadways in residential areas.
It comes as US President Joe Biden is set to hold Russia accountable for the war on Ukraine.
