During the night, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused electricity outages in extensive areas of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
A number of civilians were injured while residents in the city's east were plunged into darkness and dealt with disruption to drinking water, according to municipal leaders.

Russian forces has increased attacks on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while officials has requested "substantial measures" from international partners to apply pressure on Russia.
"What's needed is not window dressing but strong steps - from the US, the EU and the Group of Seven - in supplying air defence systems and applying sanctions," was stated in a online statement.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen rockets targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such attacks as "strategic and deliberate" and against "essential services" as winter approaches.
Government representatives said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and repair crews were laboring to repair systems.
A barrage of missiles struck energy infrastructure and civilian homes in the capital.
Multiple people hurt in the assaults on the capital have been transported for medical care, per statements from municipal representatives.
Regional authorities said the city came under heavy assaults throughout the evening. A young boy lost their life and multiple civilians were wounded.
The strikes follow evenings of aerial attacks in the territory, portions of which remain under the control of invading troops.
The entire country is on alert for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are harder to identify.
National leaders told the media that Russia was deliberately attempting to demolish the national power system, with assaults already impacting gas facilities.
