Lukashuk’s Quote: "There was a missile attack in Kryvyi Rih this evening. According to the  information of the Kakhovka Task Force, there were seven X-22 missiles. They hit hydrotechnical and critical structures, as well as transport infrastructure. The enemy’s goal is panic, psychological pressure on people, creating an emergency situation in the city and attempting to create a humanitarian crisis. 

In Kryvyi Rih, a staff for eliminating the consequences of the missile attack, municipal and maintenance services are operating. I ask that you stay calm. The situation is fully controlled by the Military Administration. Everybody is working. 

Water supply will be restored, but we need time for this."

Vilkul’s Quote: "Citizens of Kryvyi Rih, please, keep calm. The situation is under control. Those bastards striked one of the hydrotechnical infrastructure facilities in the city. We understand what to do. Water supply has started already. If you still do not have water, you are going to soon. Can’t write any more details - orks are waiting."

Details: Lukashuk also added that, as of 20:20, there was no information regarding flooding any houses. 

Background: President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine said that Russian missile attacks on the city of Kryvyi Rih in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast were an attempt to flood the city.
