Regional authorities said the urban area experienced significant strikes overnight. A minor was killed and several individuals were wounded.

The strikes follow evenings of air raids in the territory, parts of which are occupied by Russian forces.

The entire country is under warning for advanced weapon attacks, which are more difficult to detect.

Government officials told journalists that Moscow was deliberately attempting to demolish the country's energy grid, with strikes already affecting fuel infrastructure.

Authorities confirmed energy workers and government agencies were preparing for additional strikes.
