A series of attacks struck power facilities and civilian homes in the capital.
Multiple people hurt in the strikes on the city have been hospitalized, per statements from municipal representatives.
Local officials said the urban area experienced heavy assaults during nighttime hours. A minor died and three other people were hurt.
The assaults come after periods of aerial attacks in the territory, portions of which remain under the control of Russian forces.

Government officials told reporters that Russia was purposely seeking to damage the national power system, with assaults already disrupting energy systems.
Authorities confirmed utility staff and government agencies were anticipating additional strikes.
