Energy infrastructure targeted in Ukraine
The country's power facilities have come under escalating strikes in recent weeks

Overnight, Russian aerial assaults have caused power cuts in large parts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.

Nine people were hurt while local people in eastern districts were plunged into darkness and faced problems to water supplies, according to local authorities.

Meanwhile, a minor was fatally injured in a distinct Russian drone strike in the southeastern region in the southern area, as reported by area administrators.

Moscow has escalated strikes on energy facilities over recent weeks, while Ukrainian leadership has requested "substantial measures" from partner nations to increase pressure on Moscow.

"The necessity is not window dressing but strong steps - from the US, Europe and the G7 - in supplying protection systems and enforcing penalties," mentioned in a public message.

Authorities reported that numerous aerial vehicles and over thirty missiles attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such assaults as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as the weather cools.

Government representatives said Russia was "launching a major assault" and technical staff were laboring to fix the damage.

A series of attacks damaged electrical systems and apartment buildings in Kyiv.

Five out of the nine people wounded in the assaults on the city have been taken to hospital, per statements from local officials.
