Throughout the evening, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have resulted in power cuts in multiple districts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.

Moscow has intensified attacks on energy facilities over recent weeks, while the country's government has called for "real steps" from international partners to increase pressure on Moscow.

Several of the people wounded in the attacks on the city have been hospitalized, per statements from local officials.
Area administrators said the metropolitan region endured significant strikes during nighttime hours. A seven-year-old child was killed and multiple civilians were injured.
The assaults come after evenings of aerial attacks in the region, parts of which are occupied by Russian forces.

Government officials told reporters that Moscow was purposely seeking to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with attacks already affecting fuel infrastructure.
Officials stated utility staff and authorities were bracing for further attacks.
