Water and electricity have been fully restored in Kyiv, one day after an onslaught of Russian missiles targeted crucial infrastructure and paralyzed the city of 3 million people, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said. Kyiv will continue to implement rolling blackouts to stabilize the power system's operation, he said.

Monday's attack during the morning rush hour sent commuters scrambling for cover, knocked out water to 80% of the city and cut power to hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses.

"I ask Kyiv residents to save electricity, especially during peak morning and evening hours," Klitschko said on Telegram. "It is very important because the (damage) in the energy system of Ukraine is significant."
