During the night, Russian missile and drone strikes have resulted in electricity outages in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were wounded while inhabitants in eastern districts were left without electricity and encountered problems to drinking water, per reports from local authorities.
At the same time, a young boy was lost their life in a different aerial attack in the southeastern region in the southern area, based on information from regional authorities.
Moscow has escalated attacks on energy facilities over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "concrete actions" from partner nations to exert influence on Russia.
"What's needed is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the United States, European nations and the major economies - in supplying air defence systems and enforcing penalties," mentioned in a online statement.
Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and more than 30 rockets targeted energy facilities, describing such assaults as "strategic and deliberate" and against "critical infrastructure" as the weather cools.
Government representatives said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were laboring to restore power.
A wave of strikes damaged electrical systems and apartment buildings in Kyiv.
Five out of the nine people wounded in the attacks on the capital have been taken to hospital, per statements from local officials.
Area administrators said the metropolitan region endured heavy assaults throughout the evening. A seven-year-old child was killed and three other people were wounded.
The strikes follow periods of bombing campaigns in the territory, sections of which are occupied by Russian forces.
The entire country is under warning for advanced weapon attacks, which are tougher to detect.
Authorities told the media that Russia was intentionally trying to demolish the national power system, with assaults already impacting energy systems.
Authorities confirmed energy workers and officials were bracing for further attacks.
