During the night, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused blackouts in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were wounded while local people in the city's east were experienced blackouts and faced disruption to drinking water, as stated by municipal leaders.
Simultaneously, a young boy was killed in a separate aerial attack in the southeastern region in the southern area, based on information from area administrators.
Moscow has intensified attacks on power infrastructure over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has requested "real steps" from international partners to exert influence on Russia.
"What is required is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the US, European nations and the major economies - in providing defensive weapons and implementing sanctions," mentioned in a social media post.
Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty rockets targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such attacks as "strategic and deliberate" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were laboring to repair systems.
A barrage of missiles hit electrical systems and civilian homes in Kyiv.
Multiple people injured in the strikes on the city have been transported for medical care, per statements from local officials.
Area administrators said the urban area came under heavy assaults during nighttime hours. A seven-year-old child was killed and multiple civilians were hurt.
The strikes come after periods of air raids in the territory, parts of which are occupied by invading troops.
All of Ukraine is on alert for advanced weapon attacks, which are tougher to detect.
Government officials told the media that Moscow was deliberately attempting to demolish the national power system, with attacks already affecting fuel infrastructure.
Authorities confirmed technical personnel and government agencies were anticipating more assaults.
