Russian attacks on Kyiv left at least four people dead and caused damage to the Ukrainian capital's power grid, according to Euronews en español.
Securing the energy supply has become an urgent priority for Ukrainian authorities as winter approaches, a period when demand for electricity and heating rises considerably.
Last winter's precedent
Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy sector last winter left numerous citizens without electricity or heating, at a time when temperatures dropped to as low as -20 degrees Celsius in some regions of the country.
Ukraine's energy infrastructure has been a recurring target of Russian attacks since the start of the full-scale invasion, forcing authorities to strengthen the protection of power plants and distribution networks in various cities across the country.
The available information does not detail the full extent of the damage to the power grid, nor the estimated time needed to restore service in the affected areas.
