During the night, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused electricity outages in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were injured while inhabitants in the city's east were plunged into darkness and faced disruption to drinking water, according to city officials.
Simultaneously, a minor was killed in a different aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia region in the country's south-east, according to regional authorities.
Russian forces has increased strikes on energy facilities over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has requested "real steps" from allies to increase pressure on Russia.
"What's needed is not superficial actions but decisive action - from the America, European nations and the major economies - in providing air defence systems and applying restrictions," he wrote in a social media post.
Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty rockets targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, characterizing such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as the weather cools.
Government representatives said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were striving to fix the damage.
A series of attacks struck power facilities and residential structures in the capital.
Five out of the nine people hurt in the assaults on the city have been taken to hospital, per statements from municipal representatives.
Area administrators said the metropolitan region came under intense attacks during nighttime hours. A minor lost their life and several individuals were hurt.
The strikes come after nights of air raids in the territory, parts of which remain under the control of Moscow's military.
The whole nation is on alert for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are harder to spot.
National leaders told the media that Russia was deliberately attempting to demolish the electrical infrastructure, with assaults already disrupting gas facilities.
Officials stated energy workers and authorities were bracing for additional strikes.
