Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused electricity outages in large parts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
Several individuals were hurt while local people in the city's east were experienced blackouts and encountered disruption to water systems, per reports from municipal leaders.
Simultaneously, a young boy was killed in a different assault in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southern area, according to local officials.
Moscow has intensified attacks on electrical systems over the last fortnight, while the country's government has requested "concrete actions" from international partners to apply pressure on Russia.
"What's needed is not symbolic gestures but decisive action - from the America, the EU and the major economies - in providing defensive weapons and applying sanctions," was stated in a online statement.
Officials stated that 450 drones and more than 30 missiles struck the country's power systems, characterizing such attacks as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.
Energy officials said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were working to restore power.
A barrage of missiles hit energy infrastructure and residential structures in the capital.
Several of the people injured in the attacks on the city have been hospitalized, according to local officials.
Area administrators said the city experienced heavy assaults overnight. A seven-year-old child died and multiple civilians were hurt.
The strikes follow nights of aerial attacks in the region, parts of which remain under the control of Russian forces.
The entire country is on alert for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are more difficult to detect.
National leaders told reporters that Moscow was deliberately attempting to demolish the electrical infrastructure, with assaults already affecting gas facilities.
He said technical personnel and government agencies were bracing for additional strikes.
