Residents of Kursk, located near the border of Ukraine, were left without heat and hot water.

The reason is the rupture of a section of the thermal highway, which occurred due to sharp temperature fluctuations, because the pipes are badly worn.

40,000 residents of the city are without heating. 

This was announced by the governor of the Kursk region, Roman Starovoyt, in the Telegram channel.

"It is planned to complete the dismantling of the damaged section of the network by 8:00 p.m. and install a new one already at night. By the morning of December 8, specialists must fill the heating networks and restore the supply of hot water and heating to kindergartens, schools and 162 residential buildings," the official said.

He stated that the section of the pipeline where the accident occurred is subject to corrosive wear due to periodic flooding by stormwater.
