Kyiv will temporarily turn off all street lighting due to a power shortage caused by Russian attacks on energy infrastructure, Kyiv municipal street lighting company MissSvitlo said.
The shutdown is intended to give priority to the supply of electricity to critical facilities in the city. Street lighting cabinets that also drive public warning systems will remain active, while the lights themselves will only be turned on when electricity is available until 10:00 p.m.
Kyiv residents and visitors have been urged to use caution on the roads, while drivers are advised to slow down at crossings and pedestrians to wear reflective elements.
