Intensive Russian Strikes Cut Power Across Kyiv

The country's power facilities have come under increased attacks in recent weeks

Throughout the evening, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have led to blackouts in multiple districts of the capital city, Kyiv.

Nine people were injured while inhabitants in eastern neighborhoods were left without electricity and encountered problems to water systems, according to municipal leaders.

At the same time, a minor was fatally injured in a separate Russian drone strike in the southeastern region in the country's south-east, based on information from regional authorities.

Moscow has escalated strikes on electrical systems over recent weeks, while the country's government has called for "real steps" from international partners to apply pressure on Moscow.

"What's needed is not superficial actions but decisive action - from the America, European nations and the Group of Seven - in delivering defensive weapons and implementing restrictions," mentioned in a online statement.

Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and several dozen rockets struck energy facilities, labeling such attacks as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.

Government representatives said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were working to restore power.

A wave of strikes damaged power facilities and apartment buildings in Kyiv.

Multiple people wounded in the assaults on the city have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by local officials.

Regional authorities said the metropolitan region experienced significant strikes throughout the evening. A seven-year-old child died and three other people were wounded.

The strikes come after nights of aerial attacks in the territory, portions of which remain under the control of Russian forces.

The entire country is in a state of readiness for advanced weapon attacks, which are harder to detect.

Government officials told reporters that Russia was intentionally trying to damage the national power system, with strikes already affecting fuel infrastructure.

Authorities confirmed technical personnel and government agencies were preparing for additional strikes.
