Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused electricity outages in multiple districts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
A number of civilians were hurt while local people in the city's east were plunged into darkness and faced disruption to water supplies, per reports from local authorities.
At the same time, a minor was killed in a different assault in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southern area, according to area administrators.
Moscow has increased attacks on energy facilities over the past few days, while the country's government has demanded "substantial measures" from international partners to apply pressure on Russia.
"The necessity is not superficial actions but firm measures - from the US, the EU and the major economies - in delivering defensive weapons and applying sanctions," was stated in a social media post.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 rockets attacked the country's power systems, characterizing such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
The energy minister said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and repair crews were striving to restore power.
A barrage of missiles hit power facilities and civilian homes in the capital.
Several of the people wounded in the assaults on the capital have been hospitalized, as confirmed by local officials.
Local officials said the metropolitan region experienced heavy assaults during nighttime hours. A minor died and several individuals were injured.
The strikes follow nights of bombing campaigns in the territory, sections of which remain under the control of Russian forces.
All of Ukraine is on alert for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are tougher to detect.
National leaders told reporters that Moscow was deliberately attempting to demolish the country's energy grid, with strikes already affecting fuel infrastructure.
Officials stated energy workers and government agencies were preparing for additional strikes.
