Overnight, Russian aerial assaults have led to electricity outages in multiple districts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
A number of civilians were injured while residents in eastern districts were left without electricity and encountered problems to water systems, according to local authorities.
Simultaneously, a young boy was fatally injured in a separate Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southeastern part, based on information from local officials.
Moscow has intensified assaults on electrical systems over recent weeks, while Ukrainian leadership has demanded "substantial measures" from partner nations to apply pressure on Russia.
"What's needed is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the United States, European nations and the Group of Seven - in supplying air defence systems and enforcing sanctions," he wrote in a online statement.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen rockets targeted the country's power systems, describing such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as the weather cools.
The energy minister said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and technical staff were working to repair systems.
A barrage of missiles damaged energy infrastructure and civilian homes in the capital.
Several of the people hurt in the strikes on the city have been transported for medical care, as confirmed by local officials.
Area administrators said the city came under intense attacks during nighttime hours. A minor was killed and multiple civilians were wounded.
The attacks follow periods of air raids in the territory, parts of which are occupied by Moscow's military.
The whole nation is in a state of readiness for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are tougher to spot.
Government officials told journalists that Russia was purposely seeking to damage the national power system, with assaults already impacting energy systems.
Officials stated energy workers and officials were anticipating further attacks.
