Major Moscow's Strikes Cut Electricity Throughout Ukraine's Capital

Power facilities targeted in Ukraine
Ukraine's energy systems have come under increased strikes in recent weeks

Throughout the evening, Russian aerial assaults have resulted in electricity outages in multiple districts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.

A number of civilians were wounded while residents in eastern neighborhoods were plunged into darkness and encountered problems to water systems, according to municipal leaders.

Meanwhile, a young boy was fatally injured in a separate assault in the Zaporizhzhia region in the country's south-east, as reported by regional authorities.

Moscow has increased assaults on power infrastructure over recent weeks, while officials has called for "substantial measures" from international partners to apply pressure on Russia.

"What is required is not window dressing but firm measures - from the America, European nations and the major economies - in delivering defensive weapons and applying restrictions," he wrote in a online statement.

He said that 450 drones and more than 30 rockets targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, characterizing such assaults as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as the weather cools.

Energy officials said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and technical staff were striving to fix the damage.

A barrage of missiles struck energy infrastructure and civilian homes in Kyiv.

Five out of the nine people injured in the strikes on the city have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by city authorities.

Regional authorities said the city came under intense attacks overnight. A young boy was killed and multiple civilians were wounded.

The attacks succeed evenings of aerial attacks in the territory, sections of which are currently controlled by Moscow's military.

All of Ukraine is under warning for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are more difficult to spot.

Authorities told the media that Russia was purposely seeking to destroy the country's energy grid, with strikes already impacting fuel infrastructure.

Officials stated energy workers and government agencies were bracing for further attacks.
