Large-scale Russian Assaults Disrupt Electricity Across Ukraine's Capital
Throughout the evening, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused electricity outages in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
A number of civilians were injured while inhabitants in the city's east were plunged into darkness and dealt with disruption to water supplies, according to local authorities.
At the same time, a young boy was killed in a different aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southeastern part, according to regional authorities.
Moscow has intensified attacks on energy facilities over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has demanded "substantial measures" from partner nations to increase pressure on Russia.
"The necessity is not superficial actions but decisive action - from the America, European nations and the G7 - in delivering defensive weapons and implementing penalties," he wrote in a public message.
He said that numerous aerial vehicles and several dozen projectiles attacked the country's power systems, describing such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as winter approaches.
Government representatives said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and repair crews were striving to fix the damage.
A barrage of missiles hit electrical systems and residential structures in the capital.
Multiple people wounded in the attacks on the capital have been transported for medical care, as confirmed by local officials.
Area administrators said the metropolitan region came under heavy assaults throughout the evening. A minor lost their life and multiple civilians were wounded.
The assaults follow periods of air raids in the region, parts of which are currently controlled by Moscow's military.
The whole nation is under warning for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are tougher to spot.
Government officials told the media that Moscow was purposely seeking to demolish the electrical infrastructure, with strikes already affecting gas facilities.
Authorities confirmed energy workers and officials were preparing for additional strikes.
