00:00 nightly. We should say there are some nights when the sirens don't go off
00:04 and people sleep the whole night through in different parts of
00:07 Ukraine. But I guess recently it has been more often than not that
00:11 there have been missiles fired towards Ukraine. Quite often they
00:15 are all shot down by the air defences but from time to time you
00:18 do get these deadly results such as in Privyrig, which the area that
00:23 was hit is not just Volodymyr Zelensky's home town, it is his
00:25 neighbourhood. It is the area of Privyrig that he named his
00:31 production company after. Whether or not the Russians had some kind
00:34 of symbolic intent in targeting precisely that area or whether in
00:39 fact they were trying to hit something else, some kind of
00:41 military target that they missed, I'm not sure if we will ever know.
00:45 But there is nothing really to add to what we saw in the report
00:47 there. The death toll stands at 11. A couple of dozen wounded to
00:52 varying degrees of severity. As the regional authorities pointed
00:57 out, this comes just as the city and towns to the south of it, which
01:01 are part of its district, are struggling to cope with sudden
01:05 problems with the water supply. Areas of Privyrig have been cut
01:08 off from water. Towns to the south of it are without running
01:11 water due to the explosion of the Kahovka Dam which led to the
01:16 draining of the Kahovka reservoir.
