Major Moscow's Attacks Disrupt Power Across Kyiv
Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have resulted in electricity outages in extensive areas of the capital city, Kyiv.
Several individuals were hurt while local people in eastern districts were experienced blackouts and dealt with problems to water supplies, according to municipal leaders.
At the same time, a seven-year-old child was lost their life in a separate Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southern area, as reported by local officials.
Moscow has escalated attacks on electrical systems over the past few days, while the country's government has called for "substantial measures" from international partners to apply pressure on Moscow.
"What's needed is not symbolic gestures but decisive action - from the US, European nations and the major economies - in supplying air defence systems and enforcing sanctions," mentioned in a social media post.
He said that 450 drones and more than 30 projectiles targeted the country's power systems, describing such assaults as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as winter approaches.
Government representatives said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and technical staff were working to repair systems.
A series of attacks damaged power facilities and residential structures in the capital.
Several of the people wounded in the strikes on the city have been transported for medical care, according to local officials.
Regional authorities said the city experienced significant strikes overnight. A young boy died and three other people were wounded.
The attacks follow evenings of air raids in the area, sections of which remain under the control of Russian forces.
The entire country is on alert for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are tougher to spot.
Authorities told journalists that Moscow was intentionally trying to damage the country's energy grid, with attacks already disrupting energy systems.
Authorities confirmed energy workers and government agencies were preparing for additional strikes.
