Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes have led to electricity outages in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
Several individuals were hurt while local people in the city's east were plunged into darkness and faced disruption to water systems, as stated by city officials.
Meanwhile, a seven-year-old child was lost their life in a different aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southeastern part, according to regional authorities.
Moscow has increased attacks on energy facilities over the past few days, while the country's government has requested "real steps" from partner nations to apply pressure on Moscow.
"The necessity is not symbolic gestures but strong steps - from the United States, Europe and the G7 - in providing protection systems and enforcing sanctions," he wrote in a online statement.
Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty projectiles targeted the country's power systems, labeling such attacks as "strategic and deliberate" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.
The energy minister said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were laboring to restore power.
A wave of strikes damaged power facilities and residential structures in the capital.
Multiple people injured in the assaults on the city have been hospitalized, as confirmed by municipal representatives.
Area administrators said the city came under intense attacks overnight. A minor lost their life and three other people were wounded.
The attacks come after evenings of bombing campaigns in the territory, sections of which are occupied by Moscow's military.
The whole nation is on alert for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are more difficult to spot.
Government officials told reporters that Moscow was purposely seeking to destroy the country's energy grid, with assaults already disrupting energy systems.
Officials stated utility staff and officials were anticipating additional strikes.
