Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes have resulted in blackouts in extensive areas of the capital city, Kyiv.
Nine people were hurt while residents in the city's east were plunged into darkness and encountered disruption to water systems, as stated by city officials.
At the same time, a seven-year-old child was killed in a separate aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southern area, based on information from regional authorities.
Moscow has escalated attacks on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while the country's government has called for "real steps" from partner nations to exert influence on Moscow.
"What's needed is not symbolic gestures but strong steps - from the US, European nations and the Group of Seven - in delivering air defence systems and implementing sanctions," was stated in a online statement.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty projectiles struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such assaults as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as winter approaches.
Government representatives said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were striving to restore power.
A series of attacks hit electrical systems and civilian homes in the capital.
Five out of the nine people wounded in the strikes on the capital have been hospitalized, per statements from city authorities.
Regional authorities said the metropolitan region endured intense attacks overnight. A young boy was killed and several individuals were hurt.
The assaults follow evenings of aerial attacks in the region, parts of which remain under the control of invading troops.
The whole nation is on alert for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are tougher to spot.
Authorities told the media that Russia was purposely seeking to damage the electrical infrastructure, with strikes already affecting gas facilities.
Officials stated utility staff and officials were bracing for more assaults.
