Large-scale Moscow's Assaults Cut Electricity In Ukraine's Capital

Ukraine's power facilities have come under escalating attacks in the past few days

Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused electricity outages in extensive areas of the capital city, Kyiv.

A number of civilians were wounded while inhabitants in the city's east were plunged into darkness and faced disruption to water systems, per reports from local authorities.

At the same time, a minor was lost their life in a separate assault in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southern area, as reported by area administrators.

Moscow has increased strikes on electrical systems over recent weeks, while officials has demanded "real steps" from allies to increase pressure on Russia.

"What's needed is not symbolic gestures but strong steps - from the America, Europe and the Group of Seven - in supplying protection systems and enforcing restrictions," he wrote in a online statement.

He said that 450 drones and several dozen projectiles struck energy facilities, labeling such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as winter approaches.

Energy officials said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were laboring to repair systems.

A series of attacks struck electrical systems and apartment buildings in the capital.

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

Regional authorities said the metropolitan region came under intense attacks overnight. A seven-year-old child lost their life and multiple civilians were injured.

The strikes follow periods of air raids in the territory, parts of which remain under the control of invading troops.

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

Government officials told reporters that Moscow was intentionally trying to demolish the national power system, with assaults already disrupting gas facilities.

Authorities confirmed utility staff and officials were preparing for more assaults.
