Throughout the evening, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have led to blackouts in multiple districts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
A number of civilians were hurt while residents in eastern neighborhoods were plunged into darkness and encountered problems to water systems, per reports from city officials.

Moscow has intensified assaults on energy facilities over recent weeks, while officials has demanded "real steps" from international partners to exert influence on Moscow.
"What's needed is not window dressing but strong steps - from the US, Europe and the G7 - in supplying defensive weapons and applying sanctions," was stated in a online statement.
Officials stated that 450 drones and more than 30 missiles attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such strikes as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
Government representatives said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and technical staff were striving to repair systems.
A series of attacks damaged power facilities and apartment buildings in the capital.
Five out of the nine people injured in the strikes on the capital have been hospitalized, as confirmed by city authorities.
Area administrators said the city came under significant strikes throughout the evening. A seven-year-old child died and multiple civilians were wounded.
The strikes succeed nights of aerial attacks in the territory, portions of which remain under the control of Russian forces.
