Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused blackouts in multiple districts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Several individuals were hurt while inhabitants in eastern districts were left without electricity and encountered interruptions to water supplies, as stated by municipal leaders.

Moscow has increased attacks on power infrastructure over the past few days, while officials has requested "substantial measures" from international partners to apply pressure on Moscow.
"What's needed is not window dressing but strong steps - from the US, Europe and the G7 - in supplying air defence systems and enforcing restrictions," he wrote in a online statement.
He said that 450 drones and over thirty rockets attacked the country's power systems, characterizing such attacks as "strategic and deliberate" and against "critical infrastructure" as winter approaches.
Energy officials said Russia was "launching a major assault" and technical staff were laboring to fix the damage.
A wave of strikes damaged electrical systems and apartment buildings in the capital.
Five out of the nine people wounded in the attacks on the city have been taken to hospital, according to municipal representatives.
Local officials said the city experienced intense attacks during nighttime hours. A young boy died and multiple civilians were injured.
The strikes follow evenings of bombing campaigns in the area, sections of which are currently controlled by Moscow's military.

Officials stated energy workers and authorities were bracing for further attacks.
