Moscow has increased strikes on power infrastructure over the past few days, while the country's government has called for "concrete actions" from allies to increase pressure on Moscow.

A series of attacks struck power facilities and apartment buildings in the capital.
Several of the people hurt in the strikes on the capital have been taken to hospital, per statements from city authorities.
Area administrators said the city experienced significant strikes throughout the evening. A seven-year-old child was killed and multiple civilians were hurt.
The strikes succeed periods of aerial attacks in the region, portions of which are currently controlled by Russian forces.
