Power and water were back on in Kyiv, the mayor said, after Russia targeted civilian infrastructure. The German chancellor rejected Moscow's accusations that Ukraine is preparing a dirty bomb.

Kyiv’s mayor Vitali Klitschko said that water and power supplies have been restored in the Ukrainian capital. 

In a post on social media, Klitschko wrote, "Water supplies to the homes of Kyiv residents have been fully restored.” He added, “Electricity supplies in Kyiv have also been restored."

Klitschko noted though that there would still be planned power cuts in the city "because of the considerable deficit in the power system after the barbaric attacks of the aggressor."

Ukraine said Russia launched a series of 55 cruise missiles targeting civilian infrastructure in the country on Monday. 

Amid the ongoing war, water and power supplies have remained disrupted as Russian strikes have destroyed around a third of its power stations.
