During the night, Russian aerial assaults have caused power cuts in large parts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
A number of civilians were injured while inhabitants in eastern districts were experienced blackouts and encountered problems to drinking water, as stated by local authorities.
Meanwhile, a minor was killed in a separate aerial attack in the southeastern region in the country's south-east, as reported by local officials.
Moscow has increased assaults on electrical systems over the past few days, while the country's government has called for "real steps" from international partners to exert influence on Russia.
"What's needed is not window dressing but strong steps - from the US, the EU and the Group of Seven - in supplying defensive weapons and implementing sanctions," mentioned in a social media post.
Authorities reported that 450 drones and more than 30 rockets targeted energy facilities, characterizing such assaults as "strategic and deliberate" and against "essential services" as winter approaches.
The energy minister said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were striving to repair systems.
A barrage of missiles struck power facilities and apartment buildings in the capital.
Multiple people wounded in the attacks on the capital have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by local officials.
Regional authorities said the city experienced significant strikes throughout the evening. A minor lost their life and multiple civilians were wounded.
The attacks come after periods of air raids in the area, parts of which remain under the control of invading troops.
All of Ukraine is under warning for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are tougher to identify.
Authorities told the media that Russia was purposely seeking to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with assaults already disrupting gas facilities.
Officials stated energy workers and officials were preparing for more assaults.
