Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes have led to electricity outages in multiple districts of the capital city, Kyiv.

Moscow has increased strikes on electrical systems over recent weeks, while officials has called for "substantial measures" from international partners to apply pressure on Moscow.
"What is required is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the United States, Europe and the G7 - in providing air defence systems and enforcing sanctions," was stated in a online statement.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen projectiles targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, characterizing such attacks as "premeditated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as winter approaches.
Government representatives said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and technical staff were laboring to repair systems.
A series of attacks struck electrical systems and apartment buildings in the capital.
Multiple people wounded in the attacks on the capital have been taken to hospital, per statements from city authorities.
Area administrators said the metropolitan region experienced heavy assaults throughout the evening. A minor lost their life and several individuals were wounded.
The assaults come after periods of aerial attacks in the area, sections of which remain under the control of Moscow's military.
