Large-scale Russian Attacks Disrupt Power Across Kyiv

Throughout the evening, Moscow's aerial assaults have led to electricity outages in multiple districts of the capital city, Kyiv.

A number of civilians were hurt while residents in eastern districts were left without electricity and encountered interruptions to drinking water, per reports from local authorities.

Simultaneously, a minor was killed in a distinct Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia area in the country's south-east, based on information from area administrators.

Moscow has increased strikes on energy facilities over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has demanded "real steps" from international partners to apply pressure on Russia.

"What is required is not window dressing but firm measures - from the US, the EU and the Group of Seven - in supplying air defence systems and implementing sanctions," he wrote in a social media post.

Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty rockets targeted energy facilities, labeling such assaults as "strategic and deliberate" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.

The energy minister said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were working to fix the damage.

A series of attacks damaged energy infrastructure and civilian homes in Kyiv.

Several of the people injured in the strikes on the city have been transported for medical care, per statements from local officials.

Regional authorities said the urban area endured significant strikes overnight. A young boy lost their life and multiple civilians were injured.

The attacks succeed evenings of bombing campaigns in the territory, parts of which remain under the control of Moscow's military.

The entire country is in a state of readiness for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are harder to spot.

Authorities told journalists that Moscow was purposely seeking to damage the national power system, with strikes already affecting gas facilities.

Authorities confirmed technical personnel and officials were anticipating more assaults.
