Major Russian Assaults Cut Electricity In Kyiv
Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused power cuts in large parts of the capital city, Kyiv.
Nine people were wounded while inhabitants in eastern districts were left without electricity and faced disruption to water supplies, as stated by local authorities.
Simultaneously, a seven-year-old child was fatally injured in a distinct assault in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southern area, based on information from regional authorities.
Moscow has intensified attacks on energy facilities over the last fortnight, while officials has demanded "real steps" from international partners to exert influence on Moscow.
"What's needed is not superficial actions but decisive action - from the US, European nations and the Group of Seven - in delivering defensive weapons and applying sanctions," mentioned in a public message.
Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 rockets struck the country's power systems, describing such strikes as "premeditated" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were striving to fix the damage.
A wave of strikes damaged power facilities and residential structures in the capital.
Five out of the nine people wounded in the assaults on the capital have been taken to hospital, per statements from city authorities.
Regional authorities said the metropolitan region endured intense attacks throughout the evening. A seven-year-old child lost their life and three other people were hurt.
The strikes follow periods of bombing campaigns in the territory, parts of which are currently controlled by invading troops.
The entire country is on alert for advanced weapon attacks, which are harder to identify.
Government officials told journalists that Moscow was deliberately attempting to demolish the electrical infrastructure, with strikes already disrupting energy systems.
Authorities confirmed technical personnel and authorities were preparing for additional strikes.
