Throughout the evening, Moscow's aerial assaults have caused power cuts in multiple districts of the capital city, Kyiv.
Nine people were hurt while inhabitants in the city's east were left without electricity and dealt with interruptions to water supplies, per reports from municipal leaders.
At the same time, a minor was fatally injured in a separate Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the country's south-east, as reported by area administrators.

Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 rockets targeted energy facilities, characterizing such strikes as "strategic and deliberate" and against "critical infrastructure" as winter approaches.
The energy minister said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were striving to fix the damage.
A series of attacks struck energy infrastructure and apartment buildings in Kyiv.
