During the night, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have led to power cuts in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were wounded while local people in eastern neighborhoods were left without electricity and dealt with disruption to water systems, according to municipal leaders.
At the same time, a seven-year-old child was killed in a separate aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia area in the country's south-east, as reported by local officials.
Moscow has intensified strikes on energy facilities over the past few days, while the country's government has requested "concrete actions" from international partners to increase pressure on Moscow.
"What is required is not symbolic gestures but strong steps - from the America, the EU and the G7 - in providing defensive weapons and enforcing restrictions," mentioned in a social media post.
Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and several dozen rockets targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such assaults as "premeditated" and against "critical infrastructure" as the weather cools.
The energy minister 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 the capital.
Five out of the nine people injured in the attacks on the city have been transported for medical care, per statements from municipal representatives.
Area administrators said the urban area came under significant strikes overnight. A minor died and three other people were hurt.
The attacks succeed evenings of bombing campaigns in the region, parts of which remain under the control of invading troops.
All of Ukraine is under warning for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are more difficult to detect.
National leaders told the media that Russia was deliberately attempting to destroy the country's energy grid, with attacks already impacting fuel infrastructure.
Authorities confirmed utility staff and officials were bracing for further attacks.
