Overnight, Moscow's aerial assaults have caused electricity outages in large parts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
A number of civilians were injured while local people in eastern districts were left without electricity and encountered problems to water systems, as stated by municipal leaders.

Energy officials said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were striving to fix the damage.
A barrage of missiles damaged electrical systems and residential structures in the capital.
