Throughout the evening, Russian missile and drone strikes have resulted in blackouts in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were hurt while residents in the city's east were left without electricity and encountered interruptions to drinking water, as stated by city officials.
Meanwhile, a minor was lost their life in a separate aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southern area, as reported by local officials.
Moscow has increased strikes on power infrastructure over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has requested "real steps" from allies to exert influence on Moscow.
"What's needed is not symbolic gestures but strong steps - from the America, the EU and the G7 - in providing air defence systems and enforcing penalties," mentioned in a public message.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen projectiles struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure, characterizing such assaults as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as winter approaches.
Government representatives said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and technical staff were working to restore power.
A wave of strikes hit energy infrastructure and apartment buildings in Kyiv.
Several of the people hurt in the strikes on the capital have been hospitalized, as confirmed by city authorities.
Area administrators said the metropolitan region experienced significant strikes overnight. A young boy lost their life and several individuals were hurt.
The assaults follow periods of aerial attacks in the region, portions of which are occupied by Moscow's military.
The entire country is under warning for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are harder to spot.
Authorities told the media that Moscow was deliberately attempting to destroy the country's energy grid, with strikes already disrupting gas facilities.
Officials stated utility staff and officials were bracing for further attacks.
