Intensive Moscow's Attacks Cut Electricity In Kyiv
Throughout the evening, Moscow's aerial assaults have caused electricity outages in large parts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
Nine people were hurt while residents in eastern neighborhoods were experienced blackouts and faced problems to water supplies, according to city officials.
Meanwhile, a minor was fatally injured in a different Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southern area, according to regional authorities.
Moscow has escalated assaults on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while the country's government has demanded "real steps" from allies to exert influence on Russia.
"The necessity is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the United States, the EU and the G7 - in supplying defensive weapons and enforcing restrictions," he wrote in a public message.
He said that 450 drones and more than 30 missiles targeted the country's power systems, describing such strikes as "premeditated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as winter approaches.
The energy minister said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and repair crews were laboring to repair systems.
A barrage of missiles damaged electrical systems and residential structures in Kyiv.
Multiple people hurt in the attacks on the city have been transported for medical care, as confirmed by local officials.
Area administrators said the metropolitan region endured heavy assaults throughout the evening. A seven-year-old child lost their life and multiple civilians were wounded.
The assaults succeed periods of aerial attacks in the region, parts of which are occupied by Moscow's military.
The whole nation is under warning for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are harder to detect.
Government officials told reporters that Moscow was deliberately attempting to damage the country's energy grid, with attacks already disrupting energy systems.
He said utility staff and authorities were preparing for further attacks.
