Intensive Russian Attacks Eliminate Power Throughout Kyiv
Throughout the evening, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused electricity outages in large parts of the capital city, Kyiv.
Nine people were hurt while local people in eastern districts were experienced blackouts and encountered problems to water systems, per reports from municipal leaders.
At the same time, a seven-year-old child was fatally injured in a separate assault in the southeastern region in the southern area, based on information from regional authorities.
Moscow has escalated assaults on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while officials has called for "substantial measures" from allies to increase pressure on Russia.

He said that numerous aerial vehicles and over thirty rockets struck energy facilities, describing such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as winter approaches.
Energy officials said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and repair crews were striving to repair systems.
A wave of strikes damaged energy infrastructure and residential structures in Kyiv.
Several of the people hurt in the assaults on the capital have been transported for medical care, as confirmed by city authorities.
Area administrators said the city experienced significant strikes throughout the evening. A young boy was killed and three other people were hurt.
The strikes come after evenings of bombing campaigns in the region, portions of which remain under the control of Moscow's military.

Authorities told reporters that Moscow was intentionally trying to destroy the country's energy grid, with attacks already disrupting gas facilities.
He said energy workers and government agencies were anticipating further attacks.
