By 8:15 p.m., it is known that 35 Ukrainians were injured as a result of massive shelling by the Russian occupiers.

"There are 31 people in Vyshgorod. The injured are in hospitals, everyone is getting help," Kuleba writes.

Rescuers and police are on the scene. There is a Point of Invincibility nearby.

"Our people are incredible. Residents with shrapnel wounds refuse help and provide it to those who need it more," the Regional Military Administrator head added.

One person was injured in Chabany, another person was injured in Hlevas, and three were injured in Ukrainka. All are under medical supervision.

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko and the head of the Kyiv Regional Military Administration Oleksii Kuleba reported this.

It is known that a two-story building and one of the capital's infrastructure facilities were damaged as a result of an enemy strike in Kyiv. According to Klitschko, 21 of the 31 rockets flying at Kyiv were shot down. The number of people injured as a result of the shelling increased to 11 people, 10 of them were hospitalized. It is also known that the rocket attack on the capital took the lives of three people, among them a 17-year-old girl.

He also stated that 80% of Kyiv has no electricity and water. Due to the shelling, the water supply has been suspended throughout Kyiv. 

“Kyivvodokanal specialists are working to restore it as soon as possible. Please, just in case, stock up on water. Specialists are doing everything possible to return water to the houses of Kyiv residents,” Klitschko wrote.

The Kyiv Regional Military Administration reported that metro trains will run with 10-minute intervals, due to a difficult situation with the energy system. Trams will resume operation with increased intervals of up to 40 minutes. And the Kyiv funicular will not work at all for some time.

Earlier was reported that the subway operates in a limited mode, as a large number of people use it as a shelter. It is also known that the movement of the ring electric train has been temporarily suspended in Kyiv.

At the same time, the head of the Kyiv Regional Military Administration, Oleksiy Kuleba, said that there were several hits to critical infrastructure facilities.

According to preliminary data from the Prosecutor General's Office, five people died. Earlier, Kuleba said that Russian missiles hit high-rise buildings in Vyshgorod and the private sector in Chabany.

"There are more than 20 victims who are already receiving all the necessary assistance. Unfortunately, one person died," he said.

In addition, according to him, the Kyiv region is completely without electricity. There is also partial lack of heating and water supply. Kuleba also emphasized that Points of Invincibility are being deployed in the region, where there is heat, communication and alternative power.

"It is important for everyone to know the address of the nearest point - all the information is available on the websites of district councils and local self-government bodies! Also contact city councils, village councils or police representatives," added the head of Kyiv Administration.

  • On the night of November 23, Russian troops shelled Vilniansk in the Zaporizhzhia region. The rockets hit the maternity ward of the local hospital.  Zelenskyy reacted to the shelling.

  • On the afternoon of November 23, air defense was operating in the Dnipropetrovsk and Poltava regions. 

  • On the same day, after another attack on energy facilities throughout Ukraine, the city of Khmelnytskyi was completely left without electricity. In Kharkiv, due to the lack of electricity, the subway and all electric transport stopped.
