During the night, Russian missile and drone strikes have led to electricity outages in large parts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
A number of civilians were injured while inhabitants in eastern districts were plunged into darkness and faced interruptions to drinking water, as stated by municipal leaders.

Moscow has escalated strikes on power infrastructure over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has demanded "real steps" from partner nations to exert influence on Moscow.
"The necessity is not superficial actions but firm measures - from the United States, European nations and the Group of Seven - in supplying air defence systems and implementing sanctions," he wrote in a public message.
Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and more than 30 rockets attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure, characterizing such assaults as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as winter approaches.
Energy officials said Russia was "launching a major assault" and technical staff were working to restore power.
A barrage of missiles hit power facilities and apartment buildings in Kyiv.
Multiple people hurt in the attacks on the city have been hospitalized, per statements from local officials.

The attacks come after evenings of aerial attacks in the region, sections of which are currently controlled by Moscow's military.
All of Ukraine is in a state of readiness for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are more difficult to identify.
