Throughout the evening, Russian missile and drone strikes have resulted in power cuts in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
A number of civilians were wounded while residents in eastern districts were experienced blackouts and faced disruption to water supplies, as stated by local authorities.
At the same time, a young boy was lost their life in a different Russian drone strike in the southeastern region in the southern area, as reported by regional authorities.
Moscow has increased assaults on energy facilities over the past few days, while the country's government has demanded "real steps" from international partners to apply pressure on Moscow.
"What is required is not window dressing but firm measures - from the America, the EU and the G7 - in delivering air defence systems and applying sanctions," mentioned in a online statement.
Officials stated that 450 drones and over thirty missiles targeted energy facilities, describing such assaults as "strategic and deliberate" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as the weather cools.
The energy minister said Russia was "launching a major assault" and repair crews were striving to fix the damage.
A series of attacks hit energy infrastructure and residential structures in Kyiv.
Multiple people injured in the strikes on the city have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by city authorities.
Area administrators said the metropolitan region endured significant strikes throughout the evening. A seven-year-old child was killed and multiple civilians were injured.
The assaults come after evenings of bombing campaigns in the region, portions of which are currently controlled by invading troops.
The entire country is on alert for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are harder to detect.
Government officials told reporters that Moscow was intentionally trying to damage the electrical infrastructure, with assaults already affecting energy systems.
Officials stated energy workers and government agencies were anticipating additional strikes.
