Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes have led to blackouts in multiple districts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were hurt while inhabitants in eastern districts were left without electricity and dealt with disruption to water supplies, as stated by city officials.
Simultaneously, a minor was lost their life in a separate Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southeastern part, according to regional authorities.
Moscow has increased strikes on energy facilities over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "concrete actions" from international partners to increase pressure on Russia.
"What's needed is not symbolic gestures but decisive action - from the United States, European nations and the G7 - in supplying protection systems and enforcing sanctions," he wrote in a public message.
Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and several dozen missiles attacked energy facilities, labeling such strikes as "premeditated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as the weather cools.
Energy officials said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and repair crews were working to fix the damage.
A wave of strikes struck power facilities and apartment buildings in the capital.
Several of the people hurt in the strikes on the capital have been transported for medical care, per statements from city authorities.
Area administrators said the urban area endured intense attacks throughout the evening. A minor lost their life and three other people were wounded.
The strikes come after evenings of air raids in the region, portions of which are currently controlled by Moscow's military.
The entire country is under warning for advanced weapon attacks, which are tougher to identify.
Government officials told the media that Moscow was intentionally trying to damage the electrical infrastructure, with attacks already disrupting gas facilities.
Authorities confirmed technical personnel and government agencies were preparing for additional strikes.
