Throughout the evening, Russian aerial assaults have caused power cuts in large parts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.

Simultaneously, a minor was fatally injured in a distinct assault in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southeastern part, according to area administrators.
Russian forces has escalated assaults on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while officials has requested "real steps" from allies to apply pressure on Moscow.
"The necessity is not window dressing but strong steps - from the America, Europe and the major economies - in providing air defence systems and implementing penalties," he wrote in a public message.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen missiles struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such assaults as "premeditated" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.
The energy minister said Russia was "launching a major assault" and technical staff were working to fix the damage.
A barrage of missiles struck electrical systems and civilian homes in the capital.
Several of the people wounded in the assaults on the capital have been transported for medical care, as confirmed by municipal representatives.
Regional authorities said the urban area endured significant strikes during nighttime hours. A seven-year-old child died and three other people were wounded.
The strikes follow periods of aerial attacks in the area, portions of which are occupied by invading troops.
