During the night, Russian missile and drone strikes have led to electricity outages in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were injured while residents in eastern districts were experienced blackouts and encountered interruptions to drinking water, as stated by city officials.
Meanwhile, a young boy was fatally injured in a different aerial attack in the southeastern region in the southern area, based on information from local officials.
Moscow has intensified assaults on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "real steps" from partner nations to exert influence on Moscow.
"The necessity is not window dressing but firm measures - from the US, European nations and the G7 - in providing defensive weapons and enforcing restrictions," he wrote in a online statement.
Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and over thirty rockets targeted the country's power systems, characterizing such strikes as "strategic and deliberate" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.
Government representatives said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were striving to repair systems.
A wave of strikes hit power facilities and civilian homes in Kyiv.
Several of the people wounded in the attacks on the capital have been hospitalized, per statements from municipal representatives.
Regional authorities said the urban area came under intense attacks during nighttime hours. A young boy died and multiple civilians were hurt.
The strikes follow periods of air raids in the territory, portions of which are currently controlled by Moscow's military.
The entire country is in a state of readiness for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are harder to detect.
National leaders told reporters that Russia was deliberately attempting to damage the electrical infrastructure, with strikes already impacting energy systems.
He said utility staff and government agencies were anticipating further attacks.
