Throughout the evening, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused power cuts in multiple districts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Several individuals were hurt while local people in eastern districts were plunged into darkness and encountered disruption to water supplies, according to local authorities.
Simultaneously, a minor was fatally injured in a separate Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southeastern part, as reported by area administrators.
Moscow has increased assaults on power infrastructure over the past few days, while the country's government has called for "real steps" from partner nations to exert influence on Moscow.
"The necessity is not window dressing but firm measures - from the United States, European nations and the major economies - in supplying protection systems and applying sanctions," mentioned in a social media post.
Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and several dozen missiles targeted the country's power systems, labeling such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
Government representatives said Russia was "launching a major assault" and repair crews were laboring to fix the damage.
A barrage of missiles hit electrical systems and civilian homes in the capital.
Multiple people wounded in the strikes on the capital have been hospitalized, according to city authorities.
Regional authorities said the urban area endured intense attacks during nighttime hours. A young boy lost their life and multiple civilians were hurt.
The strikes come after nights of aerial attacks in the region, parts of which are currently controlled by invading troops.
The whole nation is in a state of readiness for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are more difficult to spot.
Authorities told the media that Moscow was deliberately attempting to demolish the country's energy grid, with attacks already impacting gas facilities.
He said technical personnel and officials were preparing for more assaults.
