Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused electricity outages in large parts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.

Moscow has intensified strikes on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "concrete actions" from partner nations to increase pressure on Russia.

Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and over thirty projectiles targeted the country's power systems, characterizing such attacks as "strategic and deliberate" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.
Government representatives said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and technical staff were striving to restore power.

Multiple people hurt in the strikes on the capital have been hospitalized, per statements from city authorities.
