Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes have led to blackouts in multiple districts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Several individuals were hurt while local people in eastern neighborhoods were plunged into darkness and dealt with problems to water systems, according to city officials.

Moscow has increased attacks on electrical systems over the last fortnight, while the country's government has demanded "real steps" from allies to exert influence on Moscow.

Multiple people hurt in the strikes on the capital have been taken to hospital, according to municipal representatives.
Regional authorities said the urban area endured heavy assaults overnight. A young boy lost their life and multiple civilians were hurt.
The attacks succeed nights of bombing campaigns in the region, portions of which remain under the control of invading troops.

Government officials told reporters that Moscow was intentionally trying to damage the country's energy grid, with assaults already affecting fuel infrastructure.
Officials stated technical personnel and government agencies were anticipating more assaults.
