Throughout the evening, Moscow's aerial assaults have resulted in power cuts in large parts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were wounded while residents in eastern districts were left without electricity and dealt with disruption to water supplies, per reports from local authorities.
Simultaneously, a young boy was fatally injured in a different aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southeastern part, as reported by regional authorities.
Moscow has intensified strikes on power infrastructure over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has demanded "concrete actions" from allies to apply pressure on Moscow.
"The necessity is not superficial actions but decisive action - from the America, the EU and the major economies - in delivering protection systems and applying sanctions," mentioned in a social media post.
Authorities reported that 450 drones and several dozen missiles targeted the country's power systems, characterizing such attacks as "strategic and deliberate" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
The energy minister said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and technical staff were laboring to repair systems.
A series of attacks struck electrical systems and apartment buildings in Kyiv.
Multiple people wounded in the attacks on the capital have been transported for medical care, according to local officials.
Local officials said the city experienced heavy assaults overnight. A young boy lost their life and several individuals were hurt.
The strikes succeed periods of aerial attacks in the territory, sections of which are occupied by invading troops.
The whole nation is on alert for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are more difficult to detect.
Government officials told journalists that Russia was deliberately attempting to damage the national power system, with assaults already disrupting fuel infrastructure.
