Ukraine sets up 3,720 emergency shelters amid widespread power outage
Ukrainian authorities have set up 3,720 emergency shelters across the country after a latest barrage of Russian missile strikes caused widespread electricity outage across the war-torn nation, a top official said here.
According to Kyrylo Tymoshenko, deputy head of the Ukrainian president’s office, the shelters, equipped with power generators, will provide people with heat, electricity, water, internet and medicines, reports Xinhua news agency.
About 70 per cent of households in Kiev did not have electricity access as of Thursday, the capital city’s Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.
