During the night, Moscow's aerial assaults have led to blackouts in large parts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were wounded while inhabitants in eastern neighborhoods were left without electricity and faced disruption to water systems, per reports from municipal leaders.
At the same time, a seven-year-old child was killed in a separate Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the country's south-east, as reported by area administrators.
Moscow has intensified attacks on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while the country's government has called for "real steps" from international partners to increase pressure on Russia.
"The necessity is not superficial actions but decisive action - from the United States, the EU and the major economies - in supplying defensive weapons and implementing restrictions," he wrote in a social media post.
Authorities reported that 450 drones and several dozen missiles targeted the country's power systems, labeling such attacks as "strategic and deliberate" and against "essential services" as winter approaches.
Government representatives said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and repair crews were working to fix the damage.
A wave of strikes struck electrical systems and residential structures in the capital.
Several of the people hurt in the assaults on the capital have been taken to hospital, per statements from municipal representatives.
Regional authorities said the urban area experienced significant strikes throughout the evening. A young boy was killed and multiple civilians were hurt.
The assaults come after periods of bombing campaigns in the area, parts of which are occupied by Russian forces.
All of Ukraine is on alert for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are more difficult to detect.
Authorities told reporters that Moscow was purposely seeking to demolish the national power system, with attacks already affecting energy systems.
Authorities confirmed utility staff and government agencies were bracing for more assaults.
