Intensive Moscow's Strikes Cut Power In Kyiv
Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused power cuts in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.

At the same time, a young boy was fatally injured in a separate Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southern area, according to area administrators.
Moscow has increased strikes on electrical systems over the last fortnight, while officials has demanded "concrete actions" from allies to apply pressure on Russia.

Five out of the nine people injured in the strikes on the capital have been hospitalized, per statements from city authorities.
