Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused blackouts in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
Several individuals were injured while residents in eastern districts were experienced blackouts and encountered problems to water supplies, per reports from city officials.
Simultaneously, a minor was killed in a separate Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southeastern part, as reported by area administrators.
Moscow has escalated strikes on energy facilities over the past few days, while officials has demanded "real steps" from partner nations to apply pressure on Moscow.
"What's needed is not window dressing but decisive action - from the United States, European nations and the Group of Seven - in supplying air defence systems and implementing penalties," was stated in a social media post.
Authorities reported that 450 drones and over thirty missiles targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.
The energy minister said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were laboring to fix the damage.
A barrage of missiles damaged energy infrastructure and apartment buildings in the capital.
Several of the people hurt in the assaults on the capital have been hospitalized, per statements from city authorities.
Area administrators said the metropolitan region experienced intense attacks throughout the evening. A seven-year-old child was killed and several individuals were injured.
The attacks follow periods of bombing campaigns in the region, parts of which are currently controlled by Moscow's military.
The entire country is on alert for advanced weapon attacks, which are harder to spot.
National leaders told the media that Moscow was purposely seeking to demolish the country's energy grid, with strikes already affecting energy systems.
Authorities confirmed energy workers and authorities were preparing for additional strikes.
