Major Moscow's Attacks Eliminate Power In Ukraine's Capital
Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused electricity outages in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
A number of civilians were wounded while inhabitants in eastern districts were experienced blackouts and faced problems to water supplies, as stated by city officials.
Meanwhile, a minor was killed in a separate Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the country's south-east, based on information from local officials.
Moscow has increased attacks on power infrastructure over recent weeks, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "concrete actions" from partner nations to apply pressure on Moscow.
"What's needed is not symbolic gestures but firm measures - from the United States, the EU and the G7 - in supplying air defence systems and applying restrictions," he wrote in a social media post.
Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty projectiles attacked the country's power systems, describing such attacks as "strategic and deliberate" and against "essential services" as winter approaches.
Government representatives said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and maintenance teams were working to repair systems.
A barrage of missiles damaged electrical systems and residential structures in Kyiv.
Several of the people hurt in the attacks on the capital have been transported for medical care, as confirmed by city authorities.
Local officials said the city came under intense attacks during nighttime hours. A minor was killed and several individuals were hurt.
The assaults come after periods of aerial attacks in the territory, parts of which are currently controlled by Moscow's military.
The entire country is on alert for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are harder to spot.
National leaders told reporters that Russia was intentionally trying to damage the electrical infrastructure, with strikes already disrupting gas facilities.
Officials stated technical personnel and government agencies were bracing for further attacks.
