Throughout the evening, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have led to power cuts in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were hurt while local people in eastern neighborhoods were plunged into darkness and faced disruption to drinking water, as stated by city officials.
Simultaneously, a young boy was lost their life in a separate Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the country's south-east, according to local officials.
Moscow has escalated strikes on energy facilities over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "real steps" from international partners to increase pressure on Russia.

A wave of strikes damaged electrical systems and civilian homes in the capital.
Multiple people injured in the strikes on the city have been hospitalized, according to city authorities.
Local officials said the urban area experienced significant strikes during nighttime hours. A young boy died and multiple civilians were hurt.

The whole nation is on alert for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are harder to detect.
Authorities told journalists that Russia was deliberately attempting to damage the national power system, with strikes already disrupting fuel infrastructure.
Officials stated utility staff and government agencies were preparing for further attacks.
