Major Moscow's Attacks Cut Power Throughout Ukraine's Capital

Energy infrastructure under attack in the region
Ukraine's power facilities have come under escalating strikes in recent weeks

Overnight, Russian aerial assaults have led to blackouts in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.

Nine people were wounded while local people in eastern districts were left without electricity and encountered problems to water supplies, as stated by city officials.

Meanwhile, a young boy was killed in a different aerial attack in the southeastern region in the country's south-east, according to regional authorities.

Moscow has escalated attacks on power infrastructure over recent weeks, while the country's government has requested "substantial measures" from international partners to apply pressure on Russia.

"What is required is not window dressing but firm measures - from the United States, European nations and the Group of Seven - in delivering air defence systems and applying sanctions," he wrote in a public message.

Authorities reported that numerous aerial vehicles and over thirty rockets targeted energy facilities, characterizing such attacks as "premeditated" and against "critical infrastructure" as the weather cools.

Government representatives said Russia was "launching a major assault" and technical staff were striving to fix the damage.

A barrage of missiles struck energy infrastructure and apartment buildings in the capital.

Five out of the nine people hurt in the attacks on the city have been transported for medical care, as confirmed by city authorities.

Regional authorities said the urban area experienced intense attacks overnight. A young boy was killed and several individuals were wounded.

The strikes follow evenings of aerial attacks in the territory, sections of which remain under the control of Moscow's military.

The entire country is under warning for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are more difficult to spot.

Government officials told journalists that Russia was intentionally trying to demolish the electrical infrastructure, with strikes already affecting energy systems.

He said utility staff and government agencies were anticipating further attacks.
