Local officials said the urban area endured significant strikes throughout the evening. A minor was killed and multiple civilians were injured.

The strikes succeed periods of air raids in the territory, parts of which remain under the control of Moscow's military.

Government officials told reporters that Moscow was deliberately attempting to damage the electrical infrastructure, with assaults already affecting gas facilities.

Officials stated utility staff and government agencies were anticipating more assaults.
