Major Moscow's Assaults Disrupt Power Across Kyiv
During the night, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused blackouts in extensive areas of the capital city, Kyiv.
Nine people were hurt while residents in eastern districts were left without electricity and faced problems to drinking water, according to municipal leaders.
Meanwhile, a seven-year-old child was fatally injured in a distinct aerial attack in the southeastern region in the southeastern part, based on information from regional authorities.
Moscow has escalated assaults on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while officials has demanded "substantial measures" from international partners to apply pressure on Russia.
"What is required is not window dressing but decisive action - from the United States, the EU and the G7 - in delivering defensive weapons and implementing restrictions," he wrote in a public message.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 missiles struck energy facilities, labeling such attacks as "premeditated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as the weather cools.
Government representatives said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and technical staff were striving to fix the damage.
A wave of strikes hit power facilities and civilian homes in the capital.
Multiple people injured in the strikes on the capital have been transported for medical care, per statements from municipal representatives.
Regional authorities said the metropolitan region endured heavy assaults during nighttime hours. A minor died and multiple civilians were wounded.
The strikes follow evenings of aerial attacks in the region, portions of which are occupied by Moscow's military.
The entire country is in a state of readiness for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are more difficult to detect.
Authorities told the media that Russia was deliberately attempting to demolish the national power system, with assaults already impacting gas facilities.
Authorities confirmed utility staff and officials were anticipating further attacks.
