Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused electricity outages in extensive areas of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.

Simultaneously, a young boy was killed in a distinct aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southern area, as reported by local officials.
Russian forces has escalated assaults on electrical systems over recent weeks, while Ukrainian leadership has requested "substantial measures" from international partners to exert influence on Russia.

He said that 450 drones and over thirty projectiles targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such attacks as "premeditated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as the weather cools.
Energy officials said Russia was "launching a major assault" and repair crews were working to fix the damage.
A series of attacks damaged electrical systems and residential structures in the capital.
Multiple people injured in the assaults on the capital have been hospitalized, per statements from municipal representatives.
Regional authorities said the urban area endured intense attacks overnight. A seven-year-old child lost their life and multiple civilians were injured.
The attacks succeed nights of air raids in the region, sections of which are occupied by Moscow's military.
The entire country is in a state of readiness for advanced weapon attacks, which are tougher to spot.
National leaders told reporters that Moscow was deliberately attempting to demolish the electrical infrastructure, with assaults already disrupting energy systems.
Officials stated utility staff and government agencies were preparing for further attacks.
