Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have led to power cuts in multiple districts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.

Several individuals were injured while local people in eastern neighborhoods were plunged into darkness and dealt with disruption to drinking water, as stated by local authorities.

Moscow has escalated assaults on energy facilities over the last fortnight, while the country's government has demanded "concrete actions" from international partners to increase pressure on Russia.

The energy minister said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and technical staff were laboring to fix the damage.

Five out of the nine people hurt in the attacks on the city have been hospitalized, as confirmed by city authorities.

National leaders told reporters that Russia was intentionally trying to damage the electrical infrastructure, with attacks already disrupting gas facilities.
