Intensive Moscow's Strikes Cut Power In Kyiv
Throughout the evening, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have led to electricity outages in large parts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
Nine people were hurt while local people in eastern neighborhoods were plunged into darkness and faced problems to water systems, according to city officials.
Simultaneously, a minor was fatally injured in a separate Russian drone strike in the southeastern region in the southern area, as reported by regional authorities.
Moscow has escalated strikes on power infrastructure over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "real steps" from international partners to increase pressure on Moscow.
"What is required is not superficial actions but firm measures - from the United States, the EU and the Group of Seven - in delivering defensive weapons and implementing penalties," he wrote in a public message.
Authorities reported that 450 drones and several dozen rockets attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure, characterizing such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as winter approaches.
Energy officials said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were laboring to fix the damage.
A barrage of missiles struck energy infrastructure and residential structures in Kyiv.
Several of the people wounded in the assaults on the city have been taken to hospital, per statements from local officials.
Local officials said the urban area endured significant strikes during nighttime hours. A young boy died and several individuals were injured.
The strikes succeed periods of bombing campaigns in the territory, portions of which are occupied by invading troops.
The entire country is under warning for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are more difficult to detect.
National leaders told the media that Russia was purposely seeking to demolish the electrical infrastructure, with strikes already impacting gas facilities.
He said utility staff and authorities were anticipating further attacks.
