Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have resulted in electricity outages in large parts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
Several individuals were injured while inhabitants in eastern neighborhoods were left without electricity and faced interruptions to drinking water, as stated by city officials.
Meanwhile, a seven-year-old child was killed in a separate aerial attack in the southeastern region in the country's south-east, based on information from local officials.
Moscow has escalated attacks on power infrastructure over recent weeks, while officials has demanded "real steps" from partner nations to increase pressure on Moscow.
"What's needed is not window dressing but firm measures - from the United States, Europe and the Group of Seven - in delivering air defence systems and implementing sanctions," mentioned in a social media post.
Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and over thirty rockets attacked energy facilities, describing such assaults as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.
Government representatives said Russia was "launching a major assault" and technical staff were working to repair systems.
A barrage of missiles damaged electrical systems and apartment buildings in the capital.
Five out of the nine people injured in the attacks on the capital have been taken to hospital, according to city authorities.
Regional authorities said the urban area came under intense attacks overnight. A minor lost their life and three other people were hurt.
The strikes follow evenings of air raids in the territory, parts of which are occupied by Russian forces.
All of Ukraine is under warning for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are tougher to spot.
National leaders told the media that Russia was purposely seeking to demolish the national power system, with attacks already impacting gas facilities.
Officials stated utility staff and authorities were preparing for additional strikes.
