Intensive Moscow's Strikes Eliminate Electricity Throughout Ukraine's Capital
Throughout the evening, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused power cuts in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were hurt while inhabitants in the city's east were experienced blackouts and encountered interruptions to water supplies, per reports from local authorities.
Simultaneously, a minor was killed in a different Russian drone strike in the southeastern region in the country's south-east, as reported by area administrators.
Moscow has increased assaults on electrical systems over the last fortnight, while officials has called for "concrete actions" from allies to increase pressure on Russia.
"What is required is not window dressing but firm measures - from the US, the EU and the major economies - in providing defensive weapons and enforcing restrictions," was stated in a social media post.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen missiles attacked the country's power systems, describing such assaults as "strategic and deliberate" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and technical staff were laboring to fix the damage.
A series of attacks damaged electrical systems and residential structures in Kyiv.
Five out of the nine people injured in the assaults on the capital have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by city authorities.
Regional authorities said the city experienced heavy assaults throughout the evening. A seven-year-old child lost their life and several individuals were wounded.
The attacks come after evenings of air raids in the region, portions of which remain under the control of invading troops.
The entire country is in a state of readiness for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are more difficult to spot.
Authorities told the media that Russia was purposely seeking to destroy the country's energy grid, with strikes already affecting gas facilities.
Officials stated utility staff and authorities were preparing for more assaults.
