During the night, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have led to power cuts in large parts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
A number of civilians were injured while local people in the city's east were left without electricity and encountered problems to water supplies, per reports from municipal leaders.
Simultaneously, a young boy was fatally injured in a distinct aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia area in the country's south-east, according to area administrators.
