Large-scale Moscow's Strikes Disrupt Electricity Across Kyiv
During the night, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have led to blackouts in large parts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were hurt while residents in eastern neighborhoods were left without electricity and dealt with problems to water systems, per reports from city officials.
Simultaneously, a young boy was killed in a different assault in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southeastern part, as reported by local officials.
Moscow has intensified attacks on energy facilities over recent weeks, while the country's government has demanded "real steps" from international partners to exert influence on Russia.
"What's needed is not superficial actions but decisive action - from the United States, Europe and the Group of Seven - in providing protection systems and implementing penalties," was stated in a public message.
Authorities reported that numerous aerial vehicles and more than 30 missiles struck the country's power systems, describing such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were laboring to fix the damage.
A wave of strikes damaged electrical systems and civilian homes in the capital.
Several of the people wounded in the strikes on the capital have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by local officials.
Local officials said the city experienced significant strikes overnight. A young boy lost their life and several individuals were injured.
The strikes come after periods of bombing campaigns in the territory, sections of which remain under the control of invading troops.
The whole nation is on alert for advanced weapon attacks, which are more difficult to spot.
Authorities told the media that Moscow was purposely seeking to destroy the national power system, with strikes already affecting gas facilities.
He said energy workers and officials were bracing for further attacks.
