Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused blackouts in extensive areas of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were injured while residents in eastern districts were experienced blackouts and faced interruptions to water supplies, per reports from municipal leaders.
Meanwhile, a minor was killed in a different aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southeastern part, based on information from local officials.
Moscow has intensified strikes on power infrastructure over recent weeks, while Ukrainian leadership has requested "concrete actions" from international partners to apply pressure on Russia.
"What's needed is not superficial actions but decisive action - from the America, Europe and the major economies - in supplying air defence systems and implementing restrictions," mentioned in a social media post.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty missiles targeted the country's power systems, describing such assaults as "strategic and deliberate" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.
Energy officials said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and technical staff were striving to repair systems.
A series of attacks damaged electrical systems and civilian homes in the capital.
Several of the people wounded in the attacks on the city have been taken to hospital, according to city authorities.
Local officials said the urban area experienced heavy assaults throughout the evening. A seven-year-old child lost their life and several individuals were hurt.
The strikes follow evenings of air raids in the region, sections of which are occupied by Moscow's military.
The entire country is in a state of readiness for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are harder to spot.
National leaders told the media that Moscow was intentionally trying to demolish the country's energy grid, with assaults already impacting energy systems.
He said utility staff and authorities were preparing for additional strikes.
