Throughout the evening, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have led to electricity outages in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
Several individuals were hurt while local people in eastern neighborhoods were plunged into darkness and faced problems to water supplies, per reports from municipal leaders.
At the same time, a seven-year-old child was lost their life in a different aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia region in the country's south-east, as reported by area administrators.
Russian forces has escalated assaults on electrical systems over the last fortnight, while the country's government has demanded "substantial measures" from allies to increase pressure on Russia.
"What's needed is not superficial actions but firm measures - from the United States, the EU and the G7 - in providing air defence systems and implementing penalties," he wrote in a public message.
He said that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty rockets attacked the country's power systems, labeling such strikes as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.
The energy minister said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and repair crews were laboring to restore power.
A barrage of missiles damaged electrical systems and civilian homes in the capital.
Multiple people injured in the assaults on the capital have been taken to hospital, according to municipal representatives.
Area administrators said the metropolitan region experienced significant strikes during nighttime hours. A minor died and several individuals were hurt.
The strikes succeed nights of aerial attacks in the area, portions of which are currently controlled by invading troops.
All of Ukraine is under warning for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are harder to spot.
National leaders told the media that Russia was purposely seeking to demolish the electrical infrastructure, with assaults already impacting fuel infrastructure.
Authorities confirmed technical personnel and government agencies were anticipating further attacks.
