Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused blackouts in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
Several individuals were hurt while residents in the city's east were left without electricity and faced interruptions to water supplies, as stated by local authorities.
Simultaneously, a seven-year-old child was fatally injured in a separate aerial attack in the southeastern region in the country's south-east, according to area administrators.
Moscow has escalated assaults on power infrastructure over recent weeks, while the country's government has called for "concrete actions" from international partners to apply pressure on Russia.
"What is required is not symbolic gestures but firm measures - from the United States, European nations and the major economies - in supplying defensive weapons and implementing restrictions," he wrote in a online statement.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen rockets attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure, characterizing such strikes as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.
The energy minister said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were working to repair systems.
A barrage of missiles hit electrical systems and apartment buildings in the capital.
Multiple people injured in the strikes on the city have been hospitalized, as confirmed by city authorities.
Area administrators said the urban area came under heavy assaults during nighttime hours. A minor died and several individuals were injured.
The assaults come after periods of aerial attacks in the area, parts of which are occupied by Russian forces.
The entire country is under warning for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are tougher to identify.
National leaders told the media that Moscow was deliberately attempting to demolish the country's energy grid, with attacks already impacting fuel infrastructure.
Officials stated energy workers and authorities were anticipating additional strikes.
