Throughout the evening, Moscow's aerial assaults have resulted in power cuts in multiple districts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were hurt while inhabitants in the city's east were plunged into darkness and dealt with problems to drinking water, as stated by local authorities.
Simultaneously, a minor was killed in a different aerial attack in the southeastern region in the country's south-east, based on information from area administrators.
Moscow has intensified attacks on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has demanded "real steps" from allies to exert influence on Russia.
"What's needed is not superficial actions but firm measures - from the US, the EU and the Group of Seven - in supplying defensive weapons and applying sanctions," was stated in a public message.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 missiles attacked energy facilities, characterizing such attacks as "strategic and deliberate" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.
The energy minister said Russia was "launching a major assault" and maintenance teams were striving to fix the damage.
A series of attacks damaged power facilities and residential structures in Kyiv.
Several of the people hurt in the attacks on the capital have been taken to hospital, per statements from municipal representatives.
Local officials said the urban area experienced significant strikes overnight. A young boy lost their life and multiple civilians were hurt.
The attacks come after periods of bombing campaigns in the area, portions of which are currently controlled by invading troops.
The whole nation is under warning for advanced weapon attacks, which are more difficult to spot.
Authorities told the media that Moscow was purposely seeking to damage the country's energy grid, with attacks already affecting energy systems.
He said energy workers and government agencies were anticipating additional strikes.
