Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have led to blackouts in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
Nine people were wounded while residents in eastern districts were experienced blackouts and encountered problems to water supplies, as stated by local authorities.
At the same time, a young boy was killed in a separate aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southern area, based on information from regional authorities.
Moscow has escalated attacks on energy facilities over the last fortnight, while the country's government has called for "real steps" from allies to increase pressure on Russia.
"The necessity is not window dressing but strong steps - from the US, the EU and the Group of Seven - in delivering air defence systems and applying penalties," mentioned in a online statement.
Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty rockets targeted energy facilities, describing such assaults as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and technical staff were working to fix the damage.
A barrage of missiles struck energy infrastructure and residential structures in Kyiv.
Several of the people injured in the assaults on the city have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by city authorities.
Area administrators said the city endured significant strikes during nighttime hours. A young boy lost their life and multiple civilians were hurt.
The assaults succeed evenings of air raids in the territory, parts of which remain under the control of Russian forces.
The entire country is on alert for advanced weapon attacks, which are more difficult to detect.
National leaders told the media that Moscow was intentionally trying to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with attacks already disrupting fuel infrastructure.
Officials stated energy workers and officials were anticipating further attacks.
