Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes have resulted in electricity outages in large parts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
A number of civilians were wounded while residents in the city's east were plunged into darkness and encountered disruption to drinking water, as stated by city officials.
Meanwhile, a young boy was fatally injured in a distinct Russian drone strike in the southeastern region in the country's south-east, according to area administrators.
Moscow has intensified assaults on electrical systems over recent weeks, while the country's government has demanded "real steps" from allies to exert influence on Russia.
"What's needed is not superficial actions but decisive action - from the America, the EU and the G7 - in supplying air defence systems and applying restrictions," mentioned in a social media post.
He said that 450 drones and several dozen projectiles attacked energy facilities, labeling such assaults as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were laboring to restore power.
A wave of strikes struck power facilities and civilian homes in the capital.
Multiple people hurt in the strikes on the city have been hospitalized, according to local officials.
Area administrators said the city experienced intense attacks overnight. A minor was killed and three other people were hurt.
The assaults succeed periods of bombing campaigns in the area, sections of which are currently controlled by Russian forces.
The whole nation is on alert for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are more difficult to detect.
National leaders told journalists that Moscow was deliberately attempting to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with attacks already impacting energy systems.
He said technical personnel and officials were anticipating more assaults.
