Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have resulted in blackouts in multiple districts of the capital city, Kyiv.
Nine people were wounded while inhabitants in eastern districts were experienced blackouts and encountered interruptions to water systems, as stated by municipal leaders.
At the same time, a young boy was killed in a separate aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southeastern part, according to local officials.
Moscow has increased assaults on power infrastructure over the past few days, while the country's government has requested "real steps" from international partners to increase pressure on Russia.
"The necessity is not superficial actions but firm measures - from the United States, European nations and the G7 - in delivering defensive weapons and implementing penalties," mentioned in a social media post.
Officials stated that 450 drones and more than 30 rockets attacked energy facilities, labeling such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.
Government representatives said Russia was "launching a major assault" and technical staff were striving to fix the damage.
A barrage of missiles struck energy infrastructure and civilian homes in Kyiv.
Multiple people injured in the assaults on the capital have been transported for medical care, according to municipal representatives.
Local officials said the city experienced intense attacks overnight. A minor died and multiple civilians were hurt.
The assaults come after evenings of air raids in the area, parts of which remain under the control of Moscow's military.
The entire country is under warning for advanced weapon attacks, which are tougher to identify.
Government officials told the media that Russia was purposely seeking to demolish the country's energy grid, with attacks already impacting gas facilities.
Officials stated technical personnel and government agencies were anticipating further attacks.
