Quote from SESU: "The enemy has fired more than 10 missiles on Kharkiv, and some areas of the city are experiencing power outages. The aftermath of the attack is also being addressed in Odesa, Lviv, Zaporizhzhia, and Kyiv oblasts. Personnel and equipment from the State Emergency Service from neighbouring regions are involved."

Details: Reportedly, rescue workers are ready to promptly deploy mobile generator stations.
