This time missile strikes on hydraulic structures and an attempt to flood Kryvyi Rih"."All the occupiers can do is to sow panic, create an emergency situation, try to leave people without light, heat, water and food. Can it break us? Not at all. Will they face a fair response and retribution? Definitely yes."City officials have said that a water flow of 100 cubic metres per second was gushing from breaches, and water levels in the Inhulets river were rising dangerously.According to Kyrylo Tymoshenko, deputy head of the president's office, water supplies have been affected by the attack and about 600,000 people were at risk of flooding in the centre and another district of the city.Russia is yet to comment on Wednesday' strikes.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
