Throughout the evening, Russian missile and drone strikes have led to electricity outages in large parts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
A number of civilians were hurt while local people in the city's east were plunged into darkness and faced problems to water supplies, per reports from city officials.

Russian forces has escalated strikes on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "real steps" from partner nations to increase pressure on Russia.
"The necessity is not window dressing but decisive action - from the US, the EU and the major economies - in delivering defensive weapons and implementing restrictions," he wrote in a online statement.
Authorities reported that 450 drones and over thirty rockets struck energy facilities, labeling such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.
The energy minister said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and technical staff were working to repair systems.
A barrage of missiles damaged power facilities and apartment buildings in the capital.
Multiple people injured in the attacks on the capital have been hospitalized, per statements from local officials.
Area administrators said the city experienced significant strikes during nighttime hours. A young boy died and three other people were wounded.
The attacks succeed periods of aerial attacks in the territory, sections of which remain under the control of Moscow's military.

Authorities told reporters that Moscow was purposely seeking to damage the national power system, with attacks already disrupting gas facilities.
