Area administrators said the urban area came under significant strikes during nighttime hours. A young boy lost their life and several individuals were wounded.

The attacks come after periods of air raids in the area, portions of which are currently controlled by invading troops.

The whole nation is under warning for advanced weapon attacks, which are harder to spot.

National leaders told the media that Russia was purposely seeking to destroy the national power system, with attacks already affecting gas facilities.
