During the night, Russian aerial assaults have caused electricity outages in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were injured while inhabitants in eastern neighborhoods were left without electricity and encountered interruptions to water supplies, according to local authorities.
At the same time, a minor was killed in a separate Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southeastern part, as reported by area administrators.
Moscow has escalated assaults on electrical systems over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has demanded "substantial measures" from international partners to exert influence on Moscow.

Multiple people injured in the assaults on the capital have been hospitalized, according to municipal representatives.
Local officials said the city came under intense attacks during nighttime hours. A young boy was killed and several individuals were wounded.
The strikes succeed nights of bombing campaigns in the territory, portions of which are currently controlled by invading troops.
