During the night, Russian aerial assaults have caused blackouts in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
A number of civilians were wounded while inhabitants in the city's east were experienced blackouts and encountered interruptions to water systems, according to local authorities.
Meanwhile, a young boy was fatally injured in a separate Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southeastern part, according to regional authorities.
Moscow has increased strikes on energy facilities over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has demanded "substantial measures" from allies to apply pressure on Russia.
"What is required is not superficial actions but firm measures - from the United States, European nations and the G7 - in supplying air defence systems and applying restrictions," was stated in a online statement.
He said that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen projectiles attacked the country's power systems, describing such strikes as "strategic and deliberate" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and technical staff were laboring to repair systems.
A wave of strikes damaged electrical systems and apartment buildings in Kyiv.
Five out of the nine people wounded in the strikes on the city have been taken to hospital, per statements from local officials.
Local officials said the urban area endured significant strikes overnight. A seven-year-old child died and multiple civilians were injured.
The assaults succeed nights of air raids in the territory, parts of which are occupied by Moscow's military.
All of Ukraine is on alert for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are more difficult to spot.
Authorities told reporters that Russia was deliberately attempting to demolish the country's energy grid, with attacks already impacting energy systems.
Officials stated technical personnel and government agencies were bracing for more assaults.
