Throughout the evening, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused power cuts in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
A number of civilians were hurt while inhabitants in the city's east were plunged into darkness and faced problems to water systems, per reports from municipal leaders.
Meanwhile, a seven-year-old child was killed in a distinct assault in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southeastern part, based on information from regional authorities.
Moscow has increased strikes on energy facilities over the last fortnight, while the country's government has requested "substantial measures" from allies to apply pressure on Moscow.
"What is required is not symbolic gestures but strong steps - from the United States, the EU and the major economies - in providing air defence systems and implementing restrictions," he wrote in a social media post.
Authorities reported that 450 drones and several dozen projectiles targeted the country's power systems, characterizing such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as winter approaches.
Government representatives said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were working to fix the damage.
A series of attacks hit energy infrastructure and civilian homes in the capital.
Multiple people wounded in the strikes on the city have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by municipal representatives.
Local officials said the urban area experienced intense attacks throughout the evening. A seven-year-old child was killed and several individuals were injured.
The assaults succeed periods of air raids in the region, portions of which remain under the control of Russian forces.
The entire country is under warning for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are tougher to identify.
National leaders told the media that Moscow was deliberately attempting to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with attacks already impacting energy systems.
Officials stated technical personnel and government agencies were preparing for more assaults.
