Intensive Moscow's Attacks Cut Electricity In Kyiv
During the night, Russian aerial assaults have resulted in electricity outages in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
Nine people were hurt while residents in eastern districts were left without electricity and dealt with problems to drinking water, per reports from city officials.
Meanwhile, a minor was fatally injured in a separate assault in the southeastern region in the southeastern part, according to regional authorities.
Moscow has increased assaults on power infrastructure over recent weeks, while Ukrainian leadership has demanded "substantial measures" from international partners to apply pressure on Russia.
"What's needed is not window dressing but firm measures - from the US, Europe and the G7 - in supplying air defence systems and implementing sanctions," mentioned in a social media post.
Officials stated that 450 drones and several dozen rockets attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure, characterizing such assaults as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.
The energy minister said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and maintenance teams were working to fix the damage.
A barrage of missiles damaged energy infrastructure and residential structures in Kyiv.
Several of the people hurt in the assaults on the capital have been taken to hospital, according to municipal representatives.
Regional authorities said the city came under intense attacks overnight. A minor lost their life and several individuals were hurt.
The strikes come after evenings of aerial attacks in the region, sections of which remain under the control of Russian forces.
The entire country is in a state of readiness for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are tougher to identify.
National leaders told the media that Russia was purposely seeking to demolish the national power system, with attacks already affecting gas facilities.
Officials stated technical personnel and authorities were anticipating additional strikes.
