Several individuals were hurt while residents in eastern districts were left without electricity and encountered problems to water supplies, according to local authorities.

Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen rockets struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such attacks as "strategic and deliberate" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.
The energy minister said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and technical staff were laboring to repair systems.
A wave of strikes hit electrical systems and residential structures in the capital.
Multiple people injured in the attacks on the capital have been hospitalized, according to municipal representatives.
Area administrators said the metropolitan region came under significant strikes overnight. A young boy died and three other people were hurt.
The strikes come after periods of air raids in the region, sections of which are currently controlled by Moscow's military.

Authorities told the media that Moscow was deliberately attempting to destroy the national power system, with attacks already impacting energy systems.
Authorities confirmed technical personnel and government agencies were anticipating additional strikes.
