Throughout the evening, Russian missile and drone strikes have led to power cuts in multiple districts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.

He said that 450 drones and over thirty missiles targeted energy facilities, characterizing such assaults as "strategic and deliberate" and against "essential services" as winter approaches.

A series of attacks damaged power facilities and civilian homes in Kyiv.

Five out of the nine people injured in the attacks on the city have been transported for medical care, according to city authorities.
