Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused power cuts in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
Nine people were injured while inhabitants in eastern neighborhoods were left without electricity and faced problems to water supplies, according to municipal leaders.
Simultaneously, a minor was fatally injured in a different Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southeastern part, as reported by regional authorities.
Moscow has increased attacks on electrical systems over recent weeks, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "substantial measures" from partner nations to increase pressure on Moscow.
"The necessity is not superficial actions but decisive action - from the America, European nations and the G7 - in supplying defensive weapons and enforcing restrictions," he wrote in a social media post.
Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and over thirty projectiles targeted the country's power systems, characterizing such strikes as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as winter approaches.
Energy officials said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and repair crews were working to repair systems.
A barrage of missiles hit energy infrastructure and residential structures in Kyiv.
Multiple people injured in the assaults on the city have been hospitalized, per statements from local officials.
Local officials said the city experienced heavy assaults overnight. A seven-year-old child was killed and several individuals were injured.
The strikes follow evenings of air raids in the region, portions of which remain under the control of invading troops.
The whole nation is in a state of readiness for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are harder to detect.
National leaders told the media that Moscow was purposely seeking to damage the electrical infrastructure, with assaults already disrupting gas facilities.
Officials stated technical personnel and officials were bracing for more assaults.
