During the night, Moscow's aerial assaults have caused electricity outages in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
Several individuals were hurt while local people in the city's east were left without electricity and faced problems to drinking water, as stated by city officials.
At the same time, a young boy was fatally injured in a different assault in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southeastern part, based on information from regional authorities.
Moscow has increased assaults on energy facilities over recent weeks, while the country's government has requested "substantial measures" from partner nations to apply pressure on Russia.

A series of attacks hit power facilities and apartment buildings in Kyiv.
Several of the people injured in the attacks on the city have been transported for medical care, as confirmed by city authorities.
