Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused blackouts in extensive areas of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
A number of civilians were injured while residents in eastern neighborhoods were experienced blackouts and faced disruption to water systems, as stated by local authorities.
At the same time, a young boy was fatally injured in a different assault in the southeastern region in the country's south-east, based on information from area administrators.

He said that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen rockets attacked energy facilities, describing such assaults as "premeditated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and repair crews were working to restore power.
A series of attacks damaged energy infrastructure and civilian homes in Kyiv.
Several of the people wounded in the assaults on the city have been hospitalized, per statements from municipal representatives.

The strikes succeed evenings of air raids in the territory, portions of which are currently controlled by Russian forces.
