On the night of 26 November, Russian troops launched a drone strike on Ternopil. The enemy attack has left the city partially without electricity and residents also report having water cut off.

This was reported by Ternopil Mayor Serhii Nadal via Telegram. 

Consequences of the shelling of Ternopil on November 26

Nadal said that as a result of the shelling and power outage, trolleybuses will temporarily stop running in the city. At the same time, buses will be used as a substitute: instead of trolleybus No. 11, large buses will operate, and the maximum number of vehicles will be used on other routes.

Also, most Ternopil residents have no water supply, but Ternopilvodokanal is gradually returning water to homes. The mayor warns that there may be low water pressure, in which case generators will be activated.

"Heat supply: most of the city's boiler houses are functioning, if necessary, its operation will also be supported by generators," the statement said. 

However, schools and kindergartens will operate as usual. Those that do not have centralized power supply will be powered by generators.

Heating stations have also resumed operation in the city, they will be open from 8:00 a.m. at the following addresses: 

  • 8 Mykola Lysenko St. — Ternopil City Territorial Center of Social Services (provision of social services);
  • 45 Zluky Ave;
  • 1 Pryvokzalna St. — Ternopil Railway Station;
  • 11 Fedkovycha St. — Children and Youth Plast Center. 

"Power engineers are gradually restoring power to the city. Let's hope it will happen as soon as possible," summarized Nadal.

Last night, the occupiers also attacked Kyiv. The city was on alert for more than five hours.

Also on the night of November 26, an explosion was heard in Kharkiv. An air raid alert was in effect in the Kharkiv region at the time.
