Overnight, Russian aerial assaults have led to electricity outages in multiple districts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
A number of civilians were injured while inhabitants in eastern neighborhoods were plunged into darkness and encountered problems to water supplies, per reports from local authorities.
Simultaneously, a minor was killed in a different aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia area in the country's south-east, according to regional authorities.
Moscow has intensified strikes on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while the country's government has requested "real steps" from partner nations to exert influence on Moscow.
"What is required is not window dressing but firm measures - from the America, Europe and the major economies - in delivering protection systems and implementing penalties," mentioned in a social media post.
Authorities reported that 450 drones and several dozen missiles struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such assaults as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as winter approaches.
The energy minister said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and maintenance teams were laboring to repair systems.
A wave of strikes hit electrical systems and apartment buildings in the capital.
Multiple people hurt in the attacks on the capital have been hospitalized, per statements from city authorities.
Regional authorities said the urban area experienced intense attacks throughout the evening. A seven-year-old child died and three other people were wounded.
The assaults succeed periods of aerial attacks in the territory, portions of which are occupied by Moscow's military.
The whole nation is on alert for advanced weapon attacks, which are more difficult to identify.
Authorities told reporters that Moscow was purposely seeking to demolish the country's energy grid, with attacks already impacting fuel infrastructure.
Authorities confirmed technical personnel and government agencies were preparing for additional strikes.
