Major Moscow's Assaults Cut Power Across Ukraine's Capital

Power facilities under attack in Ukraine
Ukraine's energy systems have come under escalating strikes in recent weeks

During the night, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have resulted in blackouts in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.

Nine people were wounded while inhabitants in eastern districts were experienced blackouts and faced interruptions to water supplies, according to local authorities.

At the same time, a young boy was killed in a separate Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southeastern part, based on information from area administrators.

Moscow has increased assaults on power infrastructure over recent weeks, while the country's government has requested "concrete actions" from allies to exert influence on Russia.

"The necessity is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the America, Europe and the major economies - in delivering air defence systems and enforcing penalties," he wrote in a public message.

He said that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty missiles targeted the country's power systems, labeling such attacks as "strategic and deliberate" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.

Government representatives said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and technical staff were striving to repair systems.

A wave of strikes hit power facilities and residential structures in Kyiv.

Several of the people hurt in the strikes on the capital have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by local officials.

Local officials said the metropolitan region experienced intense attacks overnight. A young boy lost their life and several individuals were hurt.

The strikes come after periods of air raids in the territory, sections of which are currently controlled by invading troops.

All of Ukraine is on alert for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are tougher to spot.

Authorities told reporters that Russia was intentionally trying to demolish the country's energy grid, with attacks already affecting energy systems.

He said technical personnel and authorities were preparing for additional strikes.
