Intensive Moscow's Assaults Cut Electricity In Ukraine's Capital
Throughout the evening, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused electricity outages in large parts of the capital city, Kyiv.

Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 missiles targeted the country's power systems, describing such assaults as "premeditated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as winter approaches.
Energy officials said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and technical staff were working to restore power.
A barrage of missiles damaged electrical systems and apartment buildings in the capital.

Regional authorities said the city endured heavy assaults throughout the evening. A seven-year-old child died and several individuals were wounded.

All of Ukraine is under warning for advanced weapon attacks, which are tougher to identify.
National leaders told reporters that Russia was intentionally trying to demolish the electrical infrastructure, with attacks already impacting fuel infrastructure.
Officials stated energy workers and officials were anticipating further attacks.
