#Zhitomir

Zhytomyr City Council has introduced a strict energy-saving regime following strikes on the power grid: electric transport is stopped, street lighting is reduced, and businesses are banned from using decorative lighting.

Head of the Korostyshiv District Military Administration Yuriy Denisovets announced the temporary suspension of "invincibility points" due to improved power supply. At the same time, a strike on a critical infrastructure facility was reported with no casualties.

On August 20, a day of mourning was declared in Zhytomyr for those killed in the strike on the National Police building. The third victim died overnight, and a morning shelling of warehouses injured a civilian builder.

Russian forces launched a double strike on a police building in Zhytomyr. Two officers were killed, and over 40 were injured. The Interior Minister called it terrorism against rescuers.

Russian occupiers struck Zhytomyr with jet drones, hitting the National Police building. On the night of August 19, air defense shot down 56 targets, but hits were recorded in ten locations.

In Zhytomyr, housing prices have reached critical levels: one-bedroom apartments have risen by 15%, and rent consumes up to 56% of a salary. Experts have calculated that buying a home now requires saving for more than 11 years.
