During the night, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have led to power cuts in multiple districts of the capital city, Kyiv.
A number of civilians were wounded while local people in eastern neighborhoods were left without electricity and faced interruptions to drinking water, per reports from municipal leaders.

Russian forces has increased strikes on electrical systems over recent weeks, while the country's government has requested "real steps" from partner nations to increase pressure on Moscow.
"What is required is not window dressing but firm measures - from the America, European nations and the Group of Seven - in delivering air defence systems and enforcing penalties," was stated in a public message.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 missiles attacked the country's power systems, labeling such attacks as "strategic and deliberate" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.
Government representatives said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and repair crews were striving to restore power.
A barrage of missiles damaged electrical systems and residential structures in Kyiv.
Several of the people injured in the attacks on the city have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by city authorities.
Local officials said the city came under heavy assaults throughout the evening. A seven-year-old child was killed and several individuals were wounded.
