Large-scale Russian Strikes Disrupt Power In Kyiv

Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused electricity outages in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.

He said that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 projectiles attacked the country's power systems, characterizing such strikes as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.

Energy officials said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and technical staff were laboring to restore power.

A wave of strikes hit power facilities and civilian homes in the capital.

Multiple people wounded in the attacks on the city have been hospitalized, according to local officials.

Regional authorities said the metropolitan region endured significant strikes during nighttime hours. A seven-year-old child was killed and three other people were wounded.
