During the night, Russian missile and drone strikes have resulted in electricity outages in large parts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
Nine people were hurt while residents in the city's east were experienced blackouts and encountered problems to drinking water, as stated by local authorities.
Meanwhile, a young boy was lost their life in a distinct Russian drone strike in the southeastern region in the southeastern part, based on information from local officials.
Moscow has escalated strikes on electrical systems over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has demanded "concrete actions" from partner nations to increase pressure on Russia.
"What's needed is not window dressing but strong steps - from the United States, European nations and the G7 - in providing protection systems and enforcing sanctions," he wrote in a public message.
Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and over thirty missiles struck energy facilities, characterizing such assaults as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as winter approaches.
Energy officials said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and repair crews were working to repair systems.
A barrage of missiles damaged power facilities and apartment buildings in the capital.
Multiple people wounded in the attacks on the capital have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by city authorities.
Local officials said the city endured intense attacks overnight. A minor died and three other people were wounded.
The strikes come after nights of aerial attacks in the territory, parts of which are occupied by Moscow's military.
The entire country is in a state of readiness for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are more difficult to identify.
Government officials told the media that Russia was purposely seeking to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with assaults already impacting energy systems.
Officials stated technical personnel and authorities were anticipating further attacks.
