Throughout the evening, Russian missile and drone strikes have led to electricity outages in multiple districts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were hurt while inhabitants in eastern districts were experienced blackouts and encountered problems to water supplies, as stated by city officials.
At the same time, a minor was killed in a different assault in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southeastern part, based on information from local officials.
Moscow has escalated strikes on power infrastructure over recent weeks, while Ukrainian leadership has requested "real steps" from partner nations to exert influence on Russia.
"What is required is not window dressing but firm measures - from the United States, Europe and the Group of Seven - in supplying defensive weapons and enforcing penalties," mentioned in a online statement.
Authorities reported that numerous aerial vehicles and several dozen missiles struck energy facilities, characterizing such assaults as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.
The energy minister said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and technical staff were laboring to fix the damage.
A barrage of missiles struck power facilities and residential structures in the capital.
Multiple people hurt in the strikes on the city have been transported for medical care, per statements from local officials.
Area administrators said the metropolitan region experienced intense attacks during nighttime hours. A young boy died and multiple civilians were injured.
The assaults succeed periods of bombing campaigns in the territory, parts of which are currently controlled by invading troops.
All of Ukraine is under warning for advanced weapon attacks, which are harder to identify.
Authorities told reporters that Moscow was intentionally trying to demolish the country's energy grid, with attacks already disrupting energy systems.
Authorities confirmed utility staff and officials were bracing for additional strikes.
