Several parts of Ukraine, including the capital, Kyiv, have experienced power outages and network failures following recent Russian attacks on its energy infrastructure, officials have said.

“Due to network overload, a problem arose at one of the capital’s power facilities,” the Kyiv City State Administration wrote on its Telegram channel on Oct. 14, adding that power was “partially lost” in three districts of the city.
