Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused power cuts in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.

Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and more than 30 projectiles attacked the country's power systems, labeling such assaults as "strategic and deliberate" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.
Government representatives said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were laboring to restore power.
A series of attacks damaged electrical systems and civilian homes in the capital.
Multiple people hurt in the assaults on the city have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by municipal representatives.
Regional authorities said the urban area came under intense attacks throughout the evening. A seven-year-old child died and several individuals were hurt.
