During the night, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have led to power cuts in multiple districts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
A number of civilians were wounded while inhabitants in eastern neighborhoods were plunged into darkness and faced disruption to drinking water, as stated by city officials.
Simultaneously, a young boy was fatally injured in a distinct aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia region in the country's south-east, according to area administrators.

Multiple people wounded in the attacks on the city have been transported for medical care, according to municipal representatives.

Government officials told journalists that Moscow was intentionally trying to destroy the country's energy grid, with strikes already disrupting fuel infrastructure.
Officials stated energy workers and authorities were anticipating more assaults.
