During the night, Russian missile and drone strikes have resulted in blackouts in extensive areas of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Several individuals were wounded while inhabitants in the city's east were left without electricity and faced problems to water supplies, as stated by city officials.
Meanwhile, a seven-year-old child was lost their life in a different Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southern area, as reported by regional authorities.
Moscow has escalated attacks on energy facilities over recent weeks, while the country's government has called for "real steps" from allies to apply pressure on Russia.
"What is required is not symbolic gestures but firm measures - from the US, the EU and the Group of Seven - in delivering protection systems and applying penalties," he wrote in a online statement.
Officials stated that 450 drones and more than 30 missiles struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such assaults as "strategic and deliberate" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.
Government representatives said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and repair crews were striving to repair systems.
A series of attacks hit electrical systems and residential structures in the capital.
Five out of the nine people injured in the strikes on the capital have been taken to hospital, according to municipal representatives.
Area administrators said the urban area came under heavy assaults overnight. A young boy lost their life and several individuals were wounded.
The assaults succeed periods of aerial attacks in the area, portions of which are occupied by Russian forces.
The whole nation is under warning for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are harder to detect.
Government officials told journalists that Russia was purposely seeking to destroy the national power system, with strikes already affecting fuel infrastructure.
He said utility staff and authorities were bracing for additional strikes.
