Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have resulted in blackouts in large parts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
Several individuals were wounded while local people in eastern neighborhoods were plunged into darkness and faced interruptions to water systems, according to municipal leaders.

Multiple people wounded in the assaults on the city have been taken to hospital, per statements from local officials.
