Intensive Russian Strikes Disrupt Power Across Ukraine's Capital
During the night, 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 eastern districts were left without electricity and faced interruptions to water systems, according to municipal leaders.
Meanwhile, a seven-year-old child was fatally injured in a different assault in the southeastern region in the country's south-east, based on information from local officials.
Russian forces has escalated strikes on electrical systems over the past few days, while the country's government has requested "substantial measures" from partner nations to apply pressure on Moscow.
"What is required is not superficial actions but firm measures - from the America, the EU and the G7 - in providing air defence systems and applying penalties," he wrote in a social media post.
He said that numerous aerial vehicles and over thirty missiles targeted energy facilities, describing such attacks as "premeditated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as winter approaches.
Government representatives said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and repair crews were working to restore power.
A series of attacks struck power facilities and apartment buildings in Kyiv.
Several of the people hurt in the strikes on the city have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by local officials.
Regional authorities said the metropolitan region came under heavy assaults throughout the evening. A seven-year-old child was killed and several individuals were injured.
The attacks succeed nights of aerial attacks in the region, sections of which are occupied by invading troops.
The entire country is on alert for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are harder to detect.
National leaders told journalists that Moscow was intentionally trying to demolish the national power system, with strikes already affecting fuel infrastructure.
He said technical personnel and officials were anticipating more assaults.
