Throughout the evening, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused blackouts in large parts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
Several individuals were injured while residents in eastern districts were plunged into darkness and encountered problems to water supplies, per reports from city officials.
At the same time, a minor was killed in a separate Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southern area, according to local officials.
Moscow has increased strikes on energy facilities over the past few days, while officials has requested "substantial measures" from international partners to increase pressure on Russia.
"What's needed is not symbolic gestures but strong steps - from the America, the EU and the G7 - in delivering protection systems and enforcing restrictions," was stated in a public message.
Officials stated that 450 drones and over thirty rockets targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such assaults as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.
Energy officials said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were laboring to fix the damage.
A wave of strikes hit power facilities and apartment buildings in Kyiv.
Five out of the nine people hurt in the assaults on the capital have been transported for medical care, as confirmed by municipal representatives.
Local officials said the urban area experienced heavy assaults throughout the evening. A seven-year-old child lost their life and multiple civilians were injured.
The strikes follow nights of air raids in the territory, parts of which remain under the control of invading troops.
The entire country is under warning for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are harder to identify.
Government officials told reporters that Russia was purposely seeking to destroy the national power system, with strikes already affecting fuel infrastructure.
Officials stated utility staff and officials were bracing for further attacks.
