A barrage of missiles hit electrical systems and residential structures in the capital.
Five out of the nine people wounded in the strikes on the city have been hospitalized, per statements from city authorities.
Area administrators said the urban area experienced significant strikes throughout the evening. A young boy lost their life and three other people were injured.
The assaults come after periods of bombing campaigns in the area, parts of which are occupied by Moscow's military.
