Overnight, Moscow's aerial assaults have resulted in power cuts in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
Several individuals were injured while residents in the city's east were experienced blackouts and dealt with disruption to water supplies, according to local authorities.

Moscow has intensified attacks on power infrastructure over the past few days, while the country's government has requested "real steps" from partner nations to exert influence on Russia.
"What's needed is not superficial actions but decisive action - from the America, European nations and the Group of Seven - in delivering defensive weapons and implementing restrictions," was stated in a online statement.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 rockets attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such assaults as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as winter approaches.
The energy minister said Russia was "launching a major assault" and repair crews were laboring to fix the damage.
A barrage of missiles hit electrical systems and civilian homes in the capital.
Five out of the nine people hurt in the attacks on the city have been hospitalized, according to municipal representatives.
