Flood levels receding as repair work continues after missiles hit infrastructure near Kryvih Rih

BY A STAFF REPORTER: Ukrainian authorities say that flood levels are receding after Russian missiles hit river infrastructure near the city of Kryvih Rih on Wednesday. Oleksandr Vilkul, head of Kryvyi Rih civil military administration, said there had been seven missile strikes that had caused flooding affecting dozens of households and led to the evacuation of scores more. Vilkul said work to repair the damage was 50% complete and water supplies were being restored. He said the Russians had used their most expensive cruise missile to break a 600 millimeter pipe and leave 15,000 people without water for a day. But he cautioned that the damage could have been much worse.
