Overnight, Russian aerial assaults have caused power cuts in large parts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
A number of civilians were wounded while residents in eastern neighborhoods were plunged into darkness and faced problems to water systems, according to city officials.

Moscow has escalated strikes on energy facilities over the last fortnight, while officials has demanded "substantial measures" from international partners to apply pressure on Russia.
"What is required is not superficial actions but firm measures - from the America, Europe and the Group of Seven - in supplying defensive weapons and enforcing penalties," was stated in a public message.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen missiles struck energy facilities, describing such assaults as "premeditated" and against "critical infrastructure" as the weather cools.
The energy minister said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were laboring to repair systems.
A wave of strikes hit power facilities and residential structures in Kyiv.
Several of the people injured in the assaults on the capital have been hospitalized, per statements from city authorities.
