Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have resulted in power cuts in multiple districts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Several individuals were wounded while residents in eastern districts were left without electricity and faced disruption to water supplies, per reports from city officials.
Meanwhile, a young boy was lost their life in a separate Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southeastern part, based on information from area administrators.
Moscow has escalated attacks on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while the country's government has called for "substantial measures" from international partners to apply pressure on Moscow.
"What's needed is not symbolic gestures but decisive action - from the United States, European nations and the G7 - in providing protection systems and enforcing restrictions," mentioned in a social media post.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty rockets struck energy facilities, characterizing such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as winter approaches.
Government representatives said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and technical staff were laboring to repair systems.
A wave of strikes struck energy infrastructure and apartment buildings in Kyiv.
Five out of the nine people hurt in the attacks on the capital have been transported for medical care, as confirmed by municipal representatives.
Local officials said the city endured intense attacks overnight. A young boy died and three other people were injured.
The assaults follow periods of aerial attacks in the region, parts of which are currently controlled by Russian forces.
All of Ukraine is in a state of readiness for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are harder to identify.
Authorities told the media that Moscow was deliberately attempting to demolish the country's energy grid, with attacks already affecting energy systems.
Officials stated energy workers and authorities were preparing for further attacks.
