Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have led to electricity outages in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
Nine people were hurt while local people in eastern districts were left without electricity and encountered disruption to water systems, as stated by city officials.
Simultaneously, a seven-year-old child was lost their life in a separate Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southern area, as reported by area administrators.
Moscow has intensified strikes on power infrastructure over recent weeks, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "concrete actions" from allies to apply pressure on Russia.
"What's needed is not window dressing but strong steps - from the America, European nations and the G7 - in providing protection systems and implementing restrictions," mentioned in a public message.
Officials stated that 450 drones and over thirty projectiles attacked the country's power systems, characterizing such strikes as "premeditated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as winter approaches.
Energy officials said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were striving to fix the damage.
A barrage of missiles hit electrical systems and civilian homes in the capital.
Several of the people injured in the assaults on the city have been transported for medical care, per statements from municipal representatives.
Area administrators said the metropolitan region endured heavy assaults throughout the evening. A minor was killed and multiple civilians were wounded.
The strikes succeed nights of air raids in the territory, portions of which are currently controlled by Moscow's military.
All of Ukraine is under warning for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are harder to spot.
National leaders told journalists that Moscow was intentionally trying to damage the national power system, with assaults already affecting gas facilities.
Officials stated utility staff and government agencies were bracing for more assaults.
