Major Russian Attacks Disrupt Electricity Across Kyiv
During the night, Russian aerial assaults have caused blackouts in extensive areas of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Several individuals were wounded while residents in eastern neighborhoods were left without electricity and faced problems to water supplies, according to city officials.
At the same time, a young boy was fatally injured in a separate Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the country's south-east, as reported by area administrators.
Moscow has intensified attacks on electrical systems over the last fortnight, while officials has demanded "concrete actions" from allies to apply pressure on Moscow.
"What's needed is not window dressing but firm measures - from the United States, European nations and the major economies - in supplying protection systems and enforcing restrictions," he wrote in a social media post.
Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and several dozen rockets attacked energy facilities, describing such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.
Energy officials said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were striving to repair systems.
A wave of strikes struck electrical systems and civilian homes in the capital.
Several of the people injured in the attacks on the city have been hospitalized, according to local officials.
Local officials said the urban area endured intense attacks throughout the evening. A seven-year-old child died and multiple civilians were wounded.
The assaults follow evenings of aerial attacks in the area, parts of which are occupied by Moscow's military.
The whole nation is on alert for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are tougher to spot.
Government officials told the media that Moscow was deliberately attempting to destroy the country's energy grid, with assaults already impacting fuel infrastructure.
He said utility staff and authorities were bracing for further attacks.
