During the night, Russian missile and drone strikes have resulted in blackouts in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were injured while local people in eastern neighborhoods were plunged into darkness and faced interruptions to water systems, per reports from local authorities.
At the same time, a young boy was killed in a distinct assault in the southeastern region in the southern area, according to local officials.
Moscow has intensified assaults on electrical systems over the past few days, while the country's government has requested "concrete actions" from allies to increase pressure on Moscow.
"What is required is not superficial actions but decisive action - from the US, European nations and the Group of Seven - in providing air defence systems and applying restrictions," was stated in a social media post.
He said that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 missiles targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Russia was "launching a major assault" and maintenance teams were laboring to fix the damage.
A series of attacks struck power facilities and apartment buildings in the capital.
Multiple people wounded in the strikes on the capital have been transported for medical care, per statements from municipal representatives.
Regional authorities said the city endured intense attacks during nighttime hours. A minor lost their life and several individuals were injured.
The strikes succeed periods of bombing campaigns in the territory, parts of which are currently controlled by Russian forces.
All of Ukraine is on alert for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are more difficult to identify.
National leaders told the media that Moscow was purposely seeking to destroy the country's energy grid, with assaults already disrupting gas facilities.
Officials stated energy workers and government agencies were bracing for more assaults.
