A barrage of missiles hit power facilities and residential structures in the capital.
Five out of the nine people hurt in the assaults on the city have been transported for medical care, according to local officials.
Regional authorities said the urban area came under significant strikes during nighttime hours. A seven-year-old child died and three other people were injured.
