Large-scale Moscow's Strikes Cut Power Across Kyiv
Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused blackouts in large parts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.

At the same time, a seven-year-old child was fatally injured in a distinct aerial attack in the southeastern region in the southeastern part, based on information from local officials.
Moscow has intensified assaults on power infrastructure over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has demanded "concrete actions" from allies to increase pressure on Russia.
