During the night, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused electricity outages in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were hurt while inhabitants in the city's east were experienced blackouts and dealt with disruption to water systems, as stated by local authorities.
At the same time, a seven-year-old child was killed in a different Russian drone strike in the southeastern region in the country's south-east, according to local officials.
Moscow has increased attacks on power infrastructure over recent weeks, while Ukrainian leadership has requested "concrete actions" from international partners to increase pressure on Russia.
"The necessity is not symbolic gestures but decisive action - from the United States, Europe and the Group of Seven - in providing air defence systems and implementing penalties," mentioned in a online statement.
Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and more than 30 missiles struck energy facilities, characterizing such attacks as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.
The energy minister said Russia was "launching a major assault" and maintenance teams were laboring to fix the damage.
A series of attacks damaged energy infrastructure and civilian homes in the capital.
Several of the people wounded in the attacks on the city have been hospitalized, per statements from local officials.
Area administrators said the city endured significant strikes throughout the evening. A minor lost their life and several individuals were hurt.
The strikes succeed nights of air raids in the region, sections of which remain under the control of invading troops.
All of Ukraine is under warning for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are tougher to detect.
Authorities told the media that Russia was purposely seeking to destroy the national power system, with strikes already impacting gas facilities.
Authorities confirmed technical personnel and government agencies were anticipating additional strikes.
