During the night, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have resulted in power cuts in extensive areas of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were injured while local people in the city's east were experienced blackouts and dealt with interruptions to water systems, per reports from municipal leaders.
Simultaneously, a seven-year-old child was lost their life in a separate Russian drone strike in the southeastern region in the country's south-east, based on information from regional authorities.
Moscow has escalated attacks on energy facilities over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has requested "concrete actions" from allies to exert influence on Russia.
"What is required is not window dressing but decisive action - from the US, European nations and the Group of Seven - in providing air defence systems and applying penalties," mentioned in a social media post.
Officials stated that 450 drones and several dozen rockets targeted energy facilities, labeling such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as the weather cools.
The energy minister said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and technical staff were striving to repair systems.
A wave of strikes damaged electrical systems and civilian homes in Kyiv.
Multiple people hurt in the strikes on the city have been transported for medical care, per statements from municipal representatives.
Regional authorities said the urban area experienced intense attacks overnight. A seven-year-old child lost their life and multiple civilians were wounded.
The assaults follow nights of bombing campaigns in the area, sections of which remain under the control of Moscow's military.
All of Ukraine is in a state of readiness for advanced weapon attacks, which are tougher to spot.
National leaders told the media that Moscow was intentionally trying to damage the electrical infrastructure, with assaults already impacting gas facilities.
He said technical personnel and authorities were bracing for more assaults.
