Regional authorities said the city came under intense attacks overnight. A minor died and several individuals were hurt.

National leaders told the media that Russia was deliberately attempting to damage the electrical infrastructure, with assaults already disrupting gas facilities.

Officials stated utility staff and officials were bracing for more assaults.
