Regional authorities said the city experienced intense attacks overnight. A minor lost their life and three other people were injured.

The assaults succeed evenings of bombing campaigns in the area, parts of which remain under the control of Moscow's military.

Authorities told the media that Russia was deliberately attempting to destroy the national power system, with strikes already disrupting gas facilities.

Officials stated energy workers and officials were preparing for additional strikes.
