Overnight, Moscow's aerial assaults have caused electricity outages in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
A number of civilians were hurt while inhabitants in the city's east were plunged into darkness and dealt with problems to drinking water, as stated by local authorities.
Meanwhile, a seven-year-old child was killed in a different Russian drone strike in the southeastern region in the country's south-east, based on information from local officials.
Russian forces has intensified strikes on electrical systems over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "real steps" from international partners to apply pressure on Moscow.
"What is required is not window dressing but decisive action - from the United States, Europe and the G7 - in delivering protection systems and enforcing restrictions," mentioned in a social media post.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 projectiles struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such attacks as "premeditated" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.
The energy minister said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and technical staff were striving to fix the damage.
A barrage of missiles hit electrical systems and apartment buildings in the capital.
Several of the people hurt in the attacks on the capital have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by city authorities.
Regional authorities said the city came under significant strikes overnight. A seven-year-old child lost their life and multiple civilians were injured.
The attacks follow nights of air raids in the area, portions of which are currently controlled by invading troops.
All of Ukraine is in a state of readiness for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are harder to spot.
Government officials told the media that Russia was deliberately attempting to destroy the national power system, with assaults already disrupting gas facilities.
Officials stated energy workers and authorities were bracing for further attacks.
