Russian attacks targeting Kyiv and the surrounding region killed five people, including one child, and injured 14 others, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
Zelensky said the attacks primarily targeted energy infrastructure, part of a continuing pattern of strikes on Ukraine's power and heating systems as the country approaches the winter months.
According to Zelensky, the toll of five deaths and 14 injuries reflects the nationwide impact of the attacks, with Kyiv and the surrounding region bearing a significant share of the damage and casualties.
Continued strikes on energy infrastructure
Ukraine has repeatedly reported Russian strikes on its energy grid throughout the ongoing war, warning that such attacks threaten to leave large numbers of civilians without power and heating during colder months.
Ukrainian officials have said they continue working to repair damaged infrastructure following the attacks, though the scale of repairs needed after repeated strikes has strained the country's energy system.
