Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused power cuts in multiple districts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Several individuals were injured while residents in eastern districts were left without electricity and encountered disruption to water systems, according to municipal leaders.
At the same time, a minor was fatally injured in a different Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia area in the country's south-east, based on information from regional authorities.
Moscow has increased assaults on electrical systems over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has requested "real steps" from allies to exert influence on Russia.
"The necessity is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the America, Europe and the G7 - in delivering air defence systems and applying penalties," he wrote in a online statement.
Officials stated that 450 drones and over thirty projectiles targeted energy facilities, describing such attacks as "premeditated" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.
Government representatives said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and technical staff were working to fix the damage.
A series of attacks hit energy infrastructure and apartment buildings in the capital.
Multiple people hurt in the strikes on the city have been transported for medical care, according to city authorities.
Regional authorities said the city endured intense attacks during nighttime hours. A minor was killed and several individuals were injured.
The attacks follow evenings of bombing campaigns in the region, parts of which are occupied by Russian forces.
All of Ukraine is in a state of readiness for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are more difficult to detect.
Authorities told the media that Moscow was purposely seeking to destroy the country's energy grid, with strikes already affecting gas facilities.
Officials stated utility staff and officials were anticipating further attacks.
