Ukraine Fighting Cuts Power, Water for Luhansk Residents

Ukraine Fighting Cuts Power, Water for Luhansk Residents

Five thousand people in two districts of Luhansk have had no electricity or water since July 3 as a result of the fighting, the city council’s press office reports.

“An electricity substation was damaged by clashes in Kamennobrod and Zhovten district, and as a result more than 5,000 [electricity] customers were cut off,” the report says. “Efforts are being made to deal with the emergency.”

The power outage meant that pumping station no. 4 [which raises water to a higher-level canal] came to a halt. Once the power comes back on, the water supply will be restored.
