Intensive Moscow's Assaults Eliminate Power In Kyiv

Energy infrastructure targeted in Ukraine
The country's power facilities have come under increased attacks in the past few days

During the night, Moscow's aerial assaults have led to power cuts in large parts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.

A number of civilians were wounded while residents in eastern districts were experienced blackouts and encountered interruptions to water supplies, per reports from municipal leaders.

Simultaneously, a minor was fatally injured in a different aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southeastern part, based on information from area administrators.

Moscow has intensified attacks on energy facilities over the past few days, while the country's government has demanded "substantial measures" from allies to exert influence on Moscow.

"What's needed is not superficial actions but firm measures - from the US, the EU and the G7 - in supplying protection systems and enforcing sanctions," he wrote in a social media post.

He said that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 missiles struck energy facilities, labeling such assaults as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.

The energy minister said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were striving to fix the damage.

A barrage of missiles damaged energy infrastructure and residential structures in the capital.

Multiple people wounded in the assaults on the city have been transported for medical care, as confirmed by city authorities.

Regional authorities said the urban area endured heavy assaults during nighttime hours. A minor died and three other people were wounded.

The assaults come after nights of air raids in the area, sections of which remain under the control of invading troops.

The whole nation is on alert for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are harder to identify.

National leaders told journalists that Moscow was intentionally trying to destroy the national power system, with strikes already disrupting gas facilities.

Officials stated technical personnel and authorities were bracing for more assaults.
