A wave of strikes damaged electrical systems and residential structures in Kyiv.
Multiple people hurt in the attacks on the city have been transported for medical care, per statements from municipal representatives.

Authorities told reporters that Moscow was deliberately attempting to damage the national power system, with strikes already affecting gas facilities.
Authorities confirmed technical personnel and officials were preparing for further attacks.
