Throughout the evening, Russian aerial assaults have caused power cuts in multiple districts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
A number of civilians were hurt while residents in eastern districts were plunged into darkness and dealt with disruption to water supplies, according to local authorities.

Moscow has increased strikes on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while the country's government has demanded "substantial measures" from partner nations to exert influence on Moscow.
