Throughout the evening, Russian missile and drone strikes have resulted in electricity outages in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were injured while local people in eastern districts were left without electricity and faced disruption to water systems, per reports from municipal leaders.
Meanwhile, a seven-year-old child was fatally injured in a separate Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southeastern part, as reported by regional authorities.
Moscow has intensified strikes on energy facilities over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has demanded "concrete actions" from partner nations to exert influence on Moscow.
"What's needed is not superficial actions but decisive action - from the United States, European nations and the major economies - in supplying defensive weapons and implementing sanctions," he wrote in a online statement.
Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and more than 30 missiles targeted the country's power systems, describing such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.
Government representatives said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were laboring to repair systems.
A barrage of missiles damaged energy infrastructure and civilian homes in the capital.
Multiple people hurt in the attacks on the capital have been transported for medical care, as confirmed by local officials.
Local officials said the city endured intense attacks during nighttime hours. A seven-year-old child died and several individuals were wounded.
The assaults follow periods of air raids in the territory, portions of which are occupied by Moscow's military.
All of Ukraine is under warning for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are tougher to spot.
Authorities told the media that Russia was intentionally trying to damage the country's energy grid, with strikes already disrupting fuel infrastructure.
Authorities confirmed energy workers and authorities were preparing for further attacks.
