Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused electricity outages in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
A number of civilians were wounded while residents in eastern neighborhoods were experienced blackouts and encountered interruptions to water systems, per reports from city officials.
At the same time, a seven-year-old child was lost their life in a distinct assault in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southeastern part, according to area administrators.
Moscow has intensified attacks on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while officials has requested "real steps" from international partners to exert influence on Russia.
"What's needed is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the United States, the EU and the G7 - in providing defensive weapons and enforcing sanctions," was stated in a public message.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty missiles struck energy facilities, characterizing such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.
Government representatives said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and repair crews were working to fix the damage.
A barrage of missiles hit electrical systems and apartment buildings in Kyiv.
Five out of the nine people wounded in the strikes on the capital have been hospitalized, according to municipal representatives.
Area administrators said the urban area experienced intense attacks during nighttime hours. A young boy was killed and multiple civilians were wounded.
The attacks come after nights of air raids in the region, parts of which are currently controlled by Moscow's military.
