Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused power cuts in large parts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were wounded while local people in eastern neighborhoods were left without electricity and faced interruptions to drinking water, as stated by local authorities.
Meanwhile, a young boy was lost their life in a different aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southern area, according to area administrators.
Moscow has increased strikes on electrical systems over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "substantial measures" from international partners to apply pressure on Russia.
"The necessity is not superficial actions but decisive action - from the US, European nations and the Group of Seven - in supplying air defence systems and enforcing penalties," he wrote in a public message.
Officials stated that 450 drones and several dozen missiles targeted the country's power systems, describing such assaults as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as winter approaches.
Energy officials said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and repair crews were working to restore power.
A barrage of missiles hit power facilities and apartment buildings in the capital.
Multiple people wounded in the attacks on the city have been transported for medical care, per statements from local officials.
Local officials said the metropolitan region came under heavy assaults overnight. A young boy was killed and multiple civilians were wounded.
The strikes succeed evenings of aerial attacks in the region, sections of which are occupied by invading troops.
The whole nation is in a state of readiness for advanced weapon attacks, which are harder to detect.
Authorities told journalists that Moscow was deliberately attempting to damage the country's energy grid, with assaults already affecting energy systems.
Authorities confirmed energy workers and authorities were preparing for further attacks.
