Ukraine war latest: Kyiv suffers worst water outage of full-scale war after mass Russian assault

On November 4, Kyiv experienced its worst water outage of the full-scale Russian invasion, following a massive Russian assault on Ukraine's energy system. Reports indicate the attack left residents without water for over 24 hours, affecting most districts of the city, including the center. Mykhailo Yatsuk, director of the Institute of Water Problems and Land Reclamation, stated that this is the most severe water outage in Kyiv since the war began and expects the situation to worsen in the winter.

The Russian attack on November 3 was the largest on Ukraine's energy infrastructure this year, causing widespread power outages in the capital, which in turn led to the city's water system being unable to pump water to households and businesses.
