Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused power cuts in extensive areas of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were hurt while local people in the city's east were plunged into darkness and dealt with disruption to water supplies, as stated by city officials.
Meanwhile, a young boy was fatally injured in a separate aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southeastern part, as reported by local officials.
Moscow has escalated strikes on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "substantial measures" from partner nations to apply pressure on Moscow.
"What is required is not window dressing but firm measures - from the United States, European nations and the G7 - in supplying protection systems and applying restrictions," mentioned in a social media post.
Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 missiles targeted energy facilities, describing such assaults as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were laboring to fix the damage.
A barrage of missiles hit electrical systems and residential structures in the capital.
Five out of the nine people hurt in the assaults on the capital have been taken to hospital, according to local officials.
Regional authorities said the urban area experienced intense attacks during nighttime hours. A seven-year-old child lost their life and multiple civilians were injured.
The attacks come after periods of air raids in the territory, sections of which remain under the control of Moscow's military.
The entire country is in a state of readiness for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are harder to identify.
Government officials told journalists that Moscow was deliberately attempting to destroy the country's energy grid, with assaults already impacting gas facilities.
Authorities confirmed utility staff and government agencies were anticipating further attacks.
