Regional authorities said the city experienced intense attacks overnight. A seven-year-old child was killed and multiple civilians were wounded.

The strikes follow evenings of aerial attacks in the area, sections of which are currently controlled by Moscow's military.

National leaders told the media that Russia was intentionally trying to demolish the electrical infrastructure, with attacks already impacting energy systems.

Authorities confirmed utility staff and officials were preparing for more assaults.
