A teenage girl was killed and at least nine other people were injured in a Russian missile attack in Ukraine's eastern Kharkiv region, its governor said.
Moscow has been intensifying its daily drone and missile barrages in recent months, targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure and hitting a number of civilian sites ahead of winter.
"A 17-year-old girl who was seriously wounded in the missile attack on the city of Berestyn has died in hospital," Kharkiv governor Oleg Synegubov posted on Telegram.
"According to preliminary information, nine people were wounded, including a 16-year-old boy," he added, saying emergency units were at the scene.
In the neighbouring Dnipropetrovsk region, the governor said fires had broken out in the city of Dnipro after a drone attack but gave no details on possible casualties.
Yesterday, Russian aerial strikes killed five people and destroyed a kindergarten in eastern Ukraine.
Three people were killed in a strike on a residential area of Balakliya, a frontline city in the Kharkiv region, Ukraine's emergency service said.
Another Russian strike killed two civilians in the Dnipropetrovsk region, the governor said.
The Moscow-installed head of the parts of Ukraine's eastern region of Donetsk controlled by Russia said that "an unprecedented" Ukrainian overnight attack damaged two thermal power plants, leaving many settlements without electricity.
Denis Pushilin, writing on the Telegram messaging app, said boiler houses and water filtration plants at the Zuivska and Starobesheve thermal power plants had shut down and that emergency crews were working to restore supplies.
Yesterday, Mr Pushilin said that an attack by Ukrainian strike drones on energy infrastructure had left roughly 500,000 people without power across several districts.
Ukraine has stepped up long-range drone and missile strikes against power plants and infrastructure in Russian-controlled parts of Donetsk in recent weeks, seeking to disrupt military logistics and undermine Moscow's ability to sustain its war.
The latest strike comes after France's President Emmanuel Macron and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed an accord for Ukraine to acquire up to 100 fighter jets and other hardware, including drones.
