Throughout the evening, Russian aerial assaults have caused blackouts in large parts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.

Moscow has increased attacks on energy facilities over recent weeks, while the country's government has demanded "real steps" from international partners to apply pressure on Russia.
"What's needed is not window dressing but decisive action - from the America, the EU and the major economies - in providing protection systems and applying restrictions," mentioned in a social media post.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty projectiles targeted the country's power systems, characterizing such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as winter approaches.
The energy minister said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and repair crews were laboring to restore power.
A series of attacks damaged energy infrastructure and residential structures in Kyiv.
Several of the people injured in the attacks on the city have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by local officials.
Area administrators said the metropolitan region experienced significant strikes during nighttime hours. A seven-year-old child lost their life and multiple civilians were hurt.
The attacks come after periods of bombing campaigns in the region, sections of which are currently controlled by Russian forces.
The whole nation is under warning for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are tougher to detect.
National leaders told reporters that Moscow was purposely seeking to destroy the national power system, with strikes already disrupting fuel infrastructure.
