Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused blackouts in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
A number of civilians were wounded while inhabitants in the city's east were experienced blackouts and encountered disruption to drinking water, per reports from local authorities.
Meanwhile, a minor was fatally injured in a different assault in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southern area, as reported by area administrators.
Moscow has intensified strikes on energy facilities over the past few days, while the country's government has requested "real steps" from partner nations to increase pressure on Russia.
"The necessity is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the America, Europe and the G7 - in supplying air defence systems and enforcing penalties," was stated in a public message.
Officials stated that 450 drones and several dozen missiles targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such assaults as "premeditated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and repair crews were working to fix the damage.
A wave of strikes damaged energy infrastructure and residential structures in the capital.
Multiple people wounded in the strikes on the capital have been hospitalized, as confirmed by city authorities.
Regional authorities said the urban area came under intense attacks overnight. A young boy died and several individuals were hurt.
The attacks succeed evenings of air raids in the region, sections of which are currently controlled by Russian forces.
All of Ukraine is under warning for advanced weapon attacks, which are tougher to detect.
Authorities told journalists that Russia was purposely seeking to damage the national power system, with strikes already impacting energy systems.
Authorities confirmed energy workers and government agencies were bracing for further attacks.
