During the night, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have resulted in electricity outages in large parts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were hurt while residents in eastern districts were plunged into darkness and encountered disruption to water supplies, per reports from municipal leaders.
Meanwhile, a seven-year-old child was lost their life in a different Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southern area, according to regional authorities.
Moscow has increased strikes on electrical systems over recent weeks, while the country's government has called for "real steps" from international partners to apply pressure on Moscow.
"The necessity is not window dressing but firm measures - from the United States, European nations and the Group of Seven - in supplying defensive weapons and applying penalties," was stated in a social media post.
He said that numerous aerial vehicles and over thirty projectiles attacked the country's power systems, labeling such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as the weather cools.
Energy officials said Russia was "launching a major assault" and maintenance teams were working to fix the damage.
A wave of strikes struck electrical systems and civilian homes in the capital.
Several of the people hurt in the strikes on the capital have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by municipal representatives.
Area administrators said the metropolitan region came under intense attacks throughout the evening. A minor died and several individuals were injured.
The strikes follow periods of aerial attacks in the territory, parts of which are occupied by Moscow's military.
All of Ukraine is in a state of readiness for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are harder to spot.
Authorities told the media that Moscow was purposely seeking to damage the national power system, with strikes already disrupting energy systems.
Officials stated energy workers and officials were anticipating additional strikes.
