Regional authorities said the city endured significant strikes overnight. A young boy lost their life and three other people were hurt.

The strikes come after periods of bombing campaigns in the area, sections of which are occupied by invading troops.

The entire country is on alert for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are harder to detect.

Government officials told the media that Russia was deliberately attempting to demolish the country's energy grid, with assaults already affecting gas facilities.

Officials stated utility staff and authorities were bracing for more assaults.
