Throughout the evening, Russian aerial assaults have caused electricity outages in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were hurt while inhabitants in eastern districts were experienced blackouts and faced interruptions to drinking water, as stated by municipal leaders.
Meanwhile, a seven-year-old child was lost their life in a separate Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the country's south-east, based on information from regional authorities.
Moscow has intensified strikes on electrical systems over recent weeks, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "substantial measures" from partner nations to increase pressure on Russia.
"What's needed is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the US, European nations and the major economies - in delivering defensive weapons and applying restrictions," he wrote in a public message.
Officials stated that 450 drones and more than 30 projectiles struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure, characterizing such strikes as "strategic and deliberate" and against "critical infrastructure" as the weather cools.
The energy minister said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and repair crews were working to fix the damage.
A barrage of missiles struck energy infrastructure and apartment buildings in the capital.
Several of the people hurt in the attacks on the city have been hospitalized, per statements from city authorities.
Regional authorities said the city came under significant strikes overnight. A seven-year-old child was killed and multiple civilians were wounded.
The attacks follow periods of air raids in the area, portions of which remain under the control of invading troops.
All of Ukraine is under warning for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are harder to detect.
Authorities told the media that Moscow was intentionally trying to damage the electrical infrastructure, with strikes already affecting energy systems.
Authorities confirmed energy workers and government agencies were bracing for more assaults.
