Overnight, Moscow's aerial assaults have resulted in electricity outages in multiple districts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
A number of civilians were hurt while local people in eastern districts were left without electricity and dealt with disruption to water systems, as stated by city officials.
Simultaneously, a young boy was fatally injured in a different Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southeastern part, as reported by regional authorities.
Moscow has intensified attacks on power infrastructure over the past few days, while the country's government has demanded "substantial measures" from allies to apply pressure on Moscow.
"The necessity is not symbolic gestures but decisive action - from the US, European nations and the G7 - in supplying protection systems and enforcing penalties," mentioned in a social media post.
Authorities reported that 450 drones and several dozen missiles targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such assaults as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as winter approaches.
Government representatives said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and repair crews were working to restore power.
A series of attacks hit electrical systems and civilian homes in the capital.
Multiple people wounded in the assaults on the capital have been taken to hospital, per statements from municipal representatives.
Regional authorities said the metropolitan region came under intense attacks throughout the evening. A seven-year-old child was killed and three other people were wounded.
The strikes succeed periods of air raids in the area, sections of which remain under the control of Moscow's military.
All of Ukraine is under warning for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are harder to identify.
Government officials told reporters that Moscow was purposely seeking to demolish the electrical infrastructure, with attacks already affecting gas facilities.
Officials stated technical personnel and officials were preparing for additional strikes.
