Intensive Russian Strikes Disrupt Power Across Ukraine's Capital

During the night, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused power cuts in large parts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.

A number of civilians were wounded while local people in the city's east were plunged into darkness and encountered problems to drinking water, as stated by municipal leaders.

Simultaneously, a seven-year-old child was lost their life in a different Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the country's south-east, as reported by regional authorities.

Moscow has increased assaults on electrical systems over the last fortnight, while the country's government has called for "concrete actions" from international partners to increase pressure on Russia.

"What is required is not symbolic gestures but firm measures - from the America, European nations and the major economies - in providing air defence systems and enforcing restrictions," was stated in a online statement.

He said that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen rockets struck energy facilities, labeling such strikes as "strategic and deliberate" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as winter approaches.

Energy officials said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were working to restore power.

A series of attacks struck electrical systems and residential structures in Kyiv.

Five out of the nine people wounded in the attacks on the city have been hospitalized, per statements from city authorities.

Regional authorities said the city endured intense attacks during nighttime hours. A minor lost their life and multiple civilians were hurt.

The attacks follow periods of air raids in the area, sections of which are occupied by invading troops.

The whole nation is under warning for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are tougher to identify.

Government officials told the media that Russia was deliberately attempting to demolish the country's energy grid, with assaults already disrupting gas facilities.

Authorities confirmed energy workers and authorities were preparing for additional strikes.
