Throughout the evening, Russian aerial assaults have led to power cuts in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
A number of civilians were wounded while local people in eastern districts were left without electricity and dealt with problems to water systems, per reports from city officials.

Moscow has escalated strikes on energy facilities over the last fortnight, while officials has demanded "substantial measures" from allies to apply pressure on Moscow.
"What is required is not window dressing but decisive action - from the America, the EU and the G7 - in supplying protection systems and implementing penalties," mentioned in a online statement.
Authorities reported that numerous aerial vehicles and over thirty rockets targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such assaults as "strategic and deliberate" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and technical staff were laboring to restore power.
A wave of strikes damaged energy infrastructure and residential structures in the capital.
Five out of the nine people injured in the strikes on the capital have been transported for medical care, according to municipal representatives.
Regional authorities said the metropolitan region endured intense attacks overnight. A seven-year-old child lost their life and several individuals were wounded.
The attacks come after periods of bombing campaigns in the territory, portions of which remain under the control of Russian forces.
