Electricity has been restored in the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson

Electricity has been restored in the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson after its liberation earlier this month from Russian occupation, a senior presidential aide said on Saturday, Qazet.az reports according to Reuters.

“First we are supplying power to the city’s critical infrastructure and then immediately to household consumers,” Kyrylo Tymoshenko, the deputy head of Ukraine’s presidential administration, wrote on Telegram.

The city had been without electricity, central heating and running water when Ukrainian forces reclaimed it on 11 November.
