Overnight, Moscow's aerial assaults have resulted in power cuts in extensive areas of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.

At the same time, a minor was fatally injured in a distinct Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the country's south-east, as reported by area administrators.
Moscow has intensified assaults on power infrastructure over the past few days, while the country's government has called for "substantial measures" from international partners to increase pressure on Moscow.
"What is required is not symbolic gestures but decisive action - from the US, European nations and the major economies - in delivering defensive weapons and implementing penalties," he wrote in a social media post.
Authorities reported that 450 drones and over thirty rockets attacked the country's power systems, characterizing such assaults as "premeditated" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and repair crews were working to restore power.
A wave of strikes hit electrical systems and residential structures in the capital.
Five out of the nine people wounded in the strikes on the city have been hospitalized, per statements from municipal representatives.

The attacks follow periods of aerial attacks in the region, parts of which are currently controlled by invading troops.
All of Ukraine is in a state of readiness for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are tougher to detect.
