Throughout the evening, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused electricity outages in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
Several individuals were wounded while residents in eastern districts were left without electricity and faced problems to water supplies, per reports from local authorities.
At the same time, a young boy was killed in a separate Russian drone strike in the southeastern region in the southeastern part, according to area administrators.
Moscow has increased assaults on power infrastructure over recent weeks, while the country's government has demanded "concrete actions" from international partners to increase pressure on Russia.
"The necessity is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the United States, Europe and the Group of Seven - in supplying protection systems and applying penalties," mentioned in a social media post.
Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty rockets struck the country's power systems, labeling such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were laboring to fix the damage.
A barrage of missiles hit electrical systems and residential structures in the capital.
Multiple people injured in the assaults on the city have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by municipal representatives.
Local officials said the metropolitan region experienced intense attacks throughout the evening. A minor died and multiple civilians were wounded.
The strikes follow nights of air raids in the area, portions of which are currently controlled by invading troops.
All of Ukraine is under warning for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are more difficult to detect.
National leaders told the media that Russia was purposely seeking to demolish the country's energy grid, with strikes already disrupting gas facilities.
Authorities confirmed energy workers and officials were bracing for further attacks.
