Throughout the evening, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused power cuts in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
Several individuals were wounded while inhabitants in eastern districts were plunged into darkness and dealt with problems to drinking water, as stated by local authorities.
Simultaneously, a seven-year-old child was lost their life in a different Russian drone strike in the southeastern region in the southeastern part, according to regional authorities.
Moscow has escalated strikes on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has demanded "real steps" from partner nations to increase pressure on Russia.

He said that 450 drones and over thirty projectiles struck the country's power systems, characterizing such assaults as "premeditated" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.

A series of attacks struck power facilities and apartment buildings in the capital.
Several of the people hurt in the assaults on the city have been transported for medical care, per statements from city authorities.
Area administrators said the urban area endured intense attacks overnight. A seven-year-old child lost their life and three other people were hurt.
The attacks come after evenings of aerial attacks in the territory, parts of which remain under the control of invading troops.

Authorities told the media that Russia was purposely seeking to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with strikes already impacting fuel infrastructure.
