Humanitarian aid workers quickly mobilized to assist Kyiv residents affected by the massive attack on Saturday night. UN agencies are supporting local emergency services and repair crews, according to the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

According to available reports, more than a dozen civilians were injured as a result of the massive strikes. Due to emergency power outages, several areas of the city were left without electricity, water, and heat. OCHA reiterated that civilians and civilian infrastructure are protected by international humanitarian law.

According to the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in the country, nearly 500 drones and approximately 40 missiles were used during the attack on Kyiv and the Kyiv region of Ukraine, striking energy and civilian infrastructure.

Restoring power supply to Zaporizhzhya NPP

Meanwhile, near the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), thanks to another localized ceasefire brokered by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), emergency work has begun to restore a critical power line. IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi announced this on Sunday.

According to him, the agency's team is monitoring the repair work, which is expected to last several days. Grossi thanked both sides for agreeing to another temporary "window of silence," which should allow specialists to restore power transmission between the distribution substations of the Zaporizhzhia NPP and the Zaporizhzhia Thermal Power Plant. These measures are part of the IAEA's ongoing efforts to prevent a nuclear accident amid the ongoing military conflict.
