Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused power cuts in extensive areas of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
A number of civilians were hurt while inhabitants in the city's east were plunged into darkness and faced problems to water systems, as stated by city officials.
Meanwhile, a minor was killed in a separate aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southeastern part, as reported by area administrators.
Moscow has intensified strikes on energy facilities over recent weeks, while officials has requested "real steps" from partner nations to apply pressure on Moscow.
"What's needed is not superficial actions but firm measures - from the America, the EU and the major economies - in supplying air defence systems and enforcing sanctions," was stated in a social media post.
Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and over thirty rockets struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such attacks as "strategic and deliberate" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and maintenance teams were working to repair systems.
A barrage of missiles damaged electrical systems and apartment buildings in the capital.
Five out of the nine people hurt in the assaults on the capital have been hospitalized, as confirmed by city authorities.
Local officials said the city came under significant strikes during nighttime hours. A minor was killed and three other people were injured.
The assaults succeed periods of air raids in the territory, portions of which remain under the control of Russian forces.
All of Ukraine is in a state of readiness for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are more difficult to identify.
Authorities told reporters that Moscow was purposely seeking to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with strikes already affecting energy systems.
Authorities confirmed utility staff and government agencies were bracing for further attacks.
