Throughout the evening, Russian missile and drone strikes have led to power cuts in large parts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
Several individuals were wounded while inhabitants in eastern districts were left without electricity and encountered disruption to water supplies, per reports from city officials.

Moscow has escalated strikes on power infrastructure over the past few days, while the country's government has requested "concrete actions" from partner nations to apply pressure on Russia.
"What is required is not window dressing but decisive action - from the US, the EU and the G7 - in providing defensive weapons and enforcing penalties," mentioned in a online statement.
