A number of civilians were injured while inhabitants in the city's east were plunged into darkness and encountered problems to drinking water, as stated by municipal leaders.

Moscow has increased attacks on electrical systems over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has requested "real steps" from allies to apply pressure on Moscow.
"The necessity is not symbolic gestures but strong steps - from the United States, Europe and the Group of Seven - in delivering protection systems and implementing penalties," mentioned in a public message.
Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty missiles attacked energy facilities, characterizing such attacks as "strategic and deliberate" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.
Government representatives said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and technical staff were striving to restore power.
A series of attacks damaged electrical systems and civilian homes in Kyiv.
Multiple people wounded in the strikes on the capital have been taken to hospital, per statements from city authorities.
Regional authorities said the metropolitan region endured heavy assaults overnight. A minor was killed and several individuals were wounded.
The strikes come after nights of air raids in the region, portions of which are occupied by Russian forces.
All of Ukraine is in a state of readiness for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are harder to spot.
National leaders told reporters that Moscow was purposely seeking to damage the country's energy grid, with assaults already impacting fuel infrastructure.
Officials stated technical personnel and government agencies were anticipating further attacks.
