Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have resulted in power cuts in multiple districts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were wounded while residents in the city's east were left without electricity and faced problems to drinking water, as stated by local authorities.
Simultaneously, a seven-year-old child was lost their life in a different aerial attack in the southeastern region in the southeastern part, based on information from local officials.
Moscow has increased assaults on power infrastructure over recent weeks, while Ukrainian leadership has requested "concrete actions" from international partners to apply pressure on Russia.
"What's needed is not symbolic gestures but decisive action - from the United States, European nations and the Group of Seven - in delivering air defence systems and implementing restrictions," was stated in a social media post.
Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty rockets attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure, characterizing such assaults as "premeditated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as the weather cools.
Government representatives said Russia was "launching a major assault" and maintenance teams were working to repair systems.
A series of attacks hit energy infrastructure and apartment buildings in the capital.
Several of the people hurt in the assaults on the city have been hospitalized, as confirmed by city authorities.
Area administrators said the urban area came under significant strikes overnight. A minor was killed and multiple civilians were hurt.
The strikes come after nights of air raids in the area, parts of which are occupied by Russian forces.
The entire country is under warning for advanced weapon attacks, which are more difficult to identify.
Authorities told the media that Moscow was purposely seeking to demolish the national power system, with strikes already impacting fuel infrastructure.
Officials stated energy workers and government agencies were bracing for more assaults.
