Throughout the evening, Russian aerial assaults have caused electricity outages in large parts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were wounded while residents in the city's east were left without electricity and encountered interruptions to water systems, according to municipal leaders.
At the same time, a seven-year-old child was lost their life in a separate Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southeastern part, based on information from local officials.
Moscow has increased attacks on electrical systems over recent weeks, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "substantial measures" from partner nations to exert influence on Russia.
"What is required is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the United States, Europe and the major economies - in supplying protection systems and applying sanctions," he wrote in a public message.
He said that numerous aerial vehicles and more than 30 missiles targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as the weather cools.
Energy officials said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and repair crews were striving to repair systems.
A barrage of missiles hit electrical systems and apartment buildings in the capital.
Several of the people wounded in the assaults on the capital have been hospitalized, per statements from local officials.
Local officials said the city came under significant strikes throughout the evening. A minor was killed and several individuals were hurt.
The attacks come after evenings of aerial attacks in the territory, sections of which are currently controlled by Moscow's military.
The entire country is on alert for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are harder to spot.
Government officials told reporters that Moscow was intentionally trying to demolish the country's energy grid, with attacks already impacting energy systems.
Authorities confirmed technical personnel and authorities were preparing for more assaults.
