During the night, Russian missile and drone strikes have led to power cuts in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
Several individuals were hurt while local people in eastern neighborhoods were left without electricity and dealt with problems to water supplies, according to local authorities.

Officials stated that 450 drones and several dozen projectiles targeted the country's power systems, characterizing such strikes as "strategic and deliberate" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.
The energy minister said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and repair crews were striving to repair systems.
A barrage of missiles damaged energy infrastructure and apartment buildings in Kyiv.
Multiple people wounded in the assaults on the capital have been transported for medical care, as confirmed by local officials.
Local officials said the metropolitan region experienced significant strikes throughout the evening. A young boy was killed and several individuals were injured.
The strikes succeed periods of aerial attacks in the region, sections of which are occupied by invading troops.

Government officials told journalists that Russia was purposely seeking to damage the electrical infrastructure, with assaults already disrupting energy systems.
Officials stated utility staff and government agencies were anticipating more assaults.
