Large-scale Russian Assaults Disrupt Electricity Across Ukraine's Capital

He said that numerous aerial vehicles and more than 30 projectiles targeted the country's power systems, labeling such attacks as "strategic and deliberate" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as winter approaches.

Government representatives said Russia was "launching a major assault" and technical staff were working to repair systems.

A barrage of missiles hit power facilities and apartment buildings in the capital.

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

Local officials said the metropolitan region came under intense attacks during nighttime hours. A minor was killed and multiple civilians were wounded.

Government officials told journalists that Russia was intentionally trying to destroy the country's energy grid, with strikes already disrupting fuel infrastructure.

Authorities confirmed technical personnel and government agencies were anticipating more assaults.
