Throughout the evening, Russian aerial assaults have led to power cuts in large parts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were injured while residents in eastern districts were plunged into darkness and faced interruptions to water supplies, per reports from local authorities.

Moscow has intensified assaults on power infrastructure over recent weeks, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "substantial measures" from partner nations to apply pressure on Russia.
"What's needed is not superficial actions but decisive action - from the America, European nations and the Group of Seven - in supplying defensive weapons and implementing restrictions," was stated in a public message.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty projectiles targeted the country's power systems, labeling such assaults as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as the weather cools.
Energy officials said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and maintenance teams were working to restore power.
A series of attacks damaged energy infrastructure and residential structures in Kyiv.
Multiple people wounded in the strikes on the capital have been transported for medical care, as confirmed by local officials.
Area administrators said the city endured significant strikes throughout the evening. A seven-year-old child was killed and multiple civilians were hurt.
The strikes follow nights of bombing campaigns in the territory, sections of which remain under the control of Russian forces.
