Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused electricity outages in multiple districts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were injured while inhabitants in eastern districts were plunged into darkness and dealt with disruption to water systems, according to municipal leaders.
Simultaneously, a seven-year-old child was lost their life in a distinct Russian drone strike in the southeastern region in the country's south-east, based on information from local officials.
Moscow has intensified attacks on power infrastructure over recent weeks, while officials has called for "concrete actions" from allies to apply pressure on Russia.
"The necessity is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the United States, European nations and the major economies - in delivering air defence systems and enforcing sanctions," he wrote in a public message.
Authorities reported that numerous aerial vehicles and more than 30 rockets targeted the country's power systems, characterizing such strikes as "strategic and deliberate" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.
Government representatives said Russia was "launching a major assault" and repair crews were working to restore power.
A barrage of missiles damaged energy infrastructure and apartment buildings in the capital.
Multiple people injured in the assaults on the capital have been transported for medical care, according to local officials.
Regional authorities said the metropolitan region experienced intense attacks overnight. A young boy lost their life and several individuals were hurt.
The assaults come after periods of air raids in the region, sections of which remain under the control of Russian forces.
All of Ukraine is under warning for advanced weapon attacks, which are more difficult to spot.
National leaders told the media that Russia was deliberately attempting to destroy the country's energy grid, with strikes already impacting energy systems.
Authorities confirmed technical personnel and government agencies were anticipating further attacks.
