Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have resulted in power cuts in large parts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
A number of civilians were hurt while residents in eastern districts were left without electricity and dealt with disruption to drinking water, as stated by municipal leaders.
At the same time, a young boy was lost their life in a different Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the country's south-east, based on information from regional authorities.
Moscow has increased attacks on electrical systems over the past few days, while officials has requested "substantial measures" from international partners to increase pressure on Russia.
"What is required is not window dressing but decisive action - from the US, the EU and the G7 - in supplying defensive weapons and enforcing sanctions," was stated in a public message.
Officials stated that 450 drones and over thirty missiles targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such assaults as "strategic and deliberate" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and technical staff were striving to fix the damage.
A barrage of missiles damaged electrical systems and civilian homes in the capital.
Five out of the nine people injured in the attacks on the city have been transported for medical care, as confirmed by city authorities.
Area administrators said the metropolitan region came under intense attacks during nighttime hours. A seven-year-old child died and three other people were injured.
The assaults come after nights of bombing campaigns in the area, parts of which are currently controlled by Russian forces.
The whole nation is under warning for advanced weapon attacks, which are more difficult to detect.
Government officials told journalists that Russia was deliberately attempting to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with assaults already affecting energy systems.
Officials stated technical personnel and government agencies were bracing for further attacks.
