Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have led to electricity outages in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
Several individuals were wounded while residents in the city's east were plunged into darkness and encountered problems to drinking water, as stated by local authorities.
Simultaneously, a young boy was fatally injured in a separate assault in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southern area, as reported by area administrators.
Moscow has escalated assaults on electrical systems over the last fortnight, while the country's government has requested "concrete actions" from allies to increase pressure on Moscow.
"The necessity is not superficial actions but firm measures - from the America, European nations and the G7 - in supplying defensive weapons and applying penalties," he wrote in a online statement.
He said that 450 drones and over thirty projectiles attacked the country's power systems, describing such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as the weather cools.
Energy officials said Russia was "launching a major assault" and maintenance teams were working to restore power.
A barrage of missiles damaged electrical systems and civilian homes in Kyiv.
Several of the people wounded in the strikes on the city have been hospitalized, according to municipal representatives.
Area administrators said the metropolitan region endured heavy assaults during nighttime hours. A seven-year-old child was killed and three other people were injured.
The strikes succeed evenings of air raids in the territory, sections of which are occupied by invading troops.
All of Ukraine is on alert for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are more difficult to detect.
Government officials told journalists that Moscow was purposely seeking to destroy the country's energy grid, with strikes already impacting gas facilities.
Officials stated utility staff and officials were bracing for additional strikes.
