Throughout the evening, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused electricity outages in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.

Moscow has escalated strikes on power infrastructure over the past few days, while the country's government has demanded "concrete actions" from partner nations to apply pressure on Moscow.
"What is required is not window dressing but strong steps - from the US, European nations and the major economies - in supplying protection systems and implementing penalties," was stated in a online statement.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 rockets attacked the country's power systems, characterizing such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.
Energy officials said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and repair crews were striving to restore power.
A wave of strikes damaged electrical systems and residential structures in the capital.
Multiple people hurt in the assaults on the capital have been hospitalized, per statements from city authorities.
Area administrators said the urban area experienced heavy assaults overnight. A seven-year-old child died and multiple civilians were hurt.
The assaults come after nights of air raids in the territory, portions of which are currently controlled by Moscow's military.
The entire country is on alert for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are tougher to spot.
National leaders told journalists that Russia was purposely seeking to demolish the electrical infrastructure, with attacks already affecting gas facilities.
He said technical personnel and authorities were bracing for more assaults.
