Large-scale Russian Attacks Eliminate Power Across Kyiv
Throughout the evening, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused power cuts in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.

He said that 450 drones and more than 30 missiles targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such attacks as "strategic and deliberate" 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 fix the damage.
A wave of strikes struck power facilities and residential structures in Kyiv.
Several of the people wounded in the assaults on the city have been taken to hospital, per statements from local officials.
Area administrators said the city experienced intense attacks overnight. A minor was killed and multiple civilians were wounded.
The assaults come after periods of bombing campaigns in the territory, parts of which are currently controlled by Russian forces.
The entire country is under warning for advanced weapon attacks, which are more difficult to detect.
Authorities told journalists that Moscow was intentionally trying to damage the country's energy grid, with assaults already affecting fuel infrastructure.
Officials stated utility staff and authorities were anticipating further attacks.
