Major Moscow's Strikes Cut Power In Ukraine's Capital
Throughout the evening, Russian missile and drone strikes have resulted in electricity outages in large parts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
A number of civilians were injured while residents in eastern districts were left without electricity and faced disruption to drinking water, according to local authorities.
Simultaneously, a minor was killed in a different Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southern area, based on information from local officials.
Moscow has intensified strikes on energy facilities over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has requested "concrete actions" from partner nations to increase pressure on Russia.

A series of attacks hit electrical systems and civilian homes in the capital.
Several of the people wounded in the strikes on the capital have been hospitalized, as confirmed by local officials.

Government officials told reporters that Moscow was intentionally trying to destroy the national power system, with strikes already disrupting energy systems.
