Overnight, Russian aerial assaults have caused blackouts in multiple districts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were wounded while inhabitants in eastern neighborhoods were left without electricity and faced interruptions to water systems, as stated by local authorities.
Meanwhile, a minor was killed in a different assault in the Zaporizhzhia region in the country's south-east, according to local officials.
Moscow has increased assaults on electrical systems over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "real steps" from international partners to increase pressure on Moscow.
"What is required is not superficial actions but firm measures - from the America, European nations and the G7 - in providing defensive weapons and enforcing sanctions," he wrote in a online statement.
Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and over thirty rockets targeted the country's power systems, characterizing such attacks as "strategic and deliberate" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as winter approaches.
Energy officials said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were laboring to fix the damage.
A barrage of missiles damaged power facilities and residential structures in the capital.
Five out of the nine people hurt in the assaults on the city have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by local officials.
Area administrators said the city came under intense attacks throughout the evening. A young boy died and multiple civilians were hurt.
The strikes follow evenings of bombing campaigns in the area, portions of which are currently controlled by Moscow's military.
The entire country is on alert for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are more difficult to identify.
Government officials told journalists that Russia was intentionally trying to destroy the country's energy grid, with strikes already affecting fuel infrastructure.
He said technical personnel and authorities were preparing for further attacks.
