Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have led to electricity outages in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
Nine people were wounded while residents in the city's east were plunged into darkness and encountered disruption to drinking water, as stated by city officials.
Meanwhile, a seven-year-old child was fatally injured in a separate aerial attack in the southeastern region in the country's south-east, according to local officials.
Russian forces has intensified attacks on energy facilities over the last fortnight, while the country's government has demanded "real steps" from partner nations to apply pressure on Moscow.
"The necessity is not superficial actions but decisive action - from the United States, Europe and the Group of Seven - in supplying air defence systems and applying penalties," mentioned in a social media post.
Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 missiles targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such strikes as "premeditated" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were working to restore power.
A series of attacks damaged power facilities and residential structures in Kyiv.
Several of the people hurt in the strikes on the city have been transported for medical care, according to city authorities.
Regional authorities said the metropolitan region endured intense attacks overnight. A young boy died and three other people were wounded.
The assaults follow evenings of air raids in the region, sections of which are occupied by invading troops.
The entire country is in a state of readiness for advanced weapon attacks, which are harder to identify.
Government officials told the media that Moscow was intentionally trying to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with assaults already impacting gas facilities.
Officials stated technical personnel and authorities were bracing for further attacks.
