Large-scale Moscow's Attacks Disrupt Electricity Across Kyiv
During the night, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused blackouts in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
Several individuals were hurt while local people in eastern districts were left without electricity and dealt with problems to water systems, according to local authorities.
Simultaneously, a minor was lost their life in a separate aerial attack in the southeastern region in the country's south-east, as reported by regional authorities.
Moscow has intensified assaults on power infrastructure over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has requested "concrete actions" from partner nations to apply pressure on Russia.
"The necessity is not symbolic gestures but decisive action - from the America, the EU and the G7 - in providing protection systems and enforcing penalties," he wrote in a social media post.
He said that numerous aerial vehicles and over thirty rockets targeted the country's power systems, characterizing such attacks as "premeditated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" 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 apartment buildings in the capital.
Five out of the nine people wounded in the assaults on the capital have been hospitalized, per statements from local officials.
Regional authorities said the metropolitan region came under significant strikes during nighttime hours. A seven-year-old child lost their life and three other people were injured.
The assaults succeed nights of bombing campaigns in the territory, sections of which remain under the control of Russian forces.
The whole nation is on alert for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are tougher to detect.
Government officials told the media that Moscow was deliberately attempting to damage the country's energy grid, with strikes already disrupting gas facilities.
Officials stated utility staff and authorities were bracing for additional strikes.
