Throughout the evening, Russian missile and drone strikes have resulted in power cuts in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
A number of civilians were wounded while local people in eastern districts were left without electricity and faced disruption to drinking water, per reports from city officials.
Simultaneously, a seven-year-old child was killed in a different Russian drone strike in the southeastern region in the southern area, as reported by area administrators.
Moscow has increased attacks on energy facilities over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has demanded "real steps" from allies to increase pressure on Russia.
"What's needed is not symbolic gestures but firm measures - from the America, European nations and the Group of Seven - in delivering air defence systems and enforcing penalties," mentioned in a public message.
Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen projectiles attacked the country's power systems, labeling such assaults as "strategic and deliberate" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
The energy minister said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and technical staff were working to restore power.
A series of attacks damaged energy infrastructure and residential structures in the capital.
Multiple people hurt in the strikes on the capital have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by city authorities.
Regional authorities said the city endured intense attacks throughout the evening. A minor lost their life and three other people were injured.
The attacks come after nights of bombing campaigns in the territory, portions of which are occupied by Moscow's military.
The whole nation is on alert for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are harder to identify.
Government officials told reporters that Moscow was deliberately attempting to demolish the electrical infrastructure, with attacks already impacting fuel infrastructure.
Authorities confirmed technical personnel and government agencies were bracing for more assaults.
