Area administrators said the city came under intense attacks throughout the evening. A minor died and several individuals were wounded.

The assaults succeed periods of bombing campaigns in the region, sections of which remain under the control of Moscow's military.

All of Ukraine is under warning for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are tougher to spot.

National leaders told reporters that Moscow was intentionally trying to demolish the national power system, with strikes already affecting energy systems.

Officials stated utility staff and authorities were bracing for additional strikes.
