Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes have resulted in power cuts in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were wounded while residents in eastern districts were experienced blackouts and faced problems to water supplies, according to local authorities.
Simultaneously, a young boy was fatally injured in a distinct assault in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southeastern part, according to regional authorities.
Moscow has escalated assaults on energy facilities over the past few days, while the country's government has demanded "real steps" from allies to increase pressure on Russia.
"The necessity is not symbolic gestures but decisive action - from the US, Europe and the G7 - in delivering air defence systems and applying sanctions," was stated in a online statement.
He said that 450 drones and more than 30 rockets attacked the country's power systems, characterizing such assaults as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.
The energy minister said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were striving to restore power.
A barrage of missiles hit energy infrastructure and residential structures in the capital.
Five out of the nine people wounded in the attacks on the city have been transported for medical care, as confirmed by local officials.
Local officials said the city endured heavy assaults throughout the evening. A young boy lost their life and several individuals were injured.
The attacks succeed nights of air raids in the territory, portions of which are currently controlled by Moscow's military.
All of Ukraine is under warning for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are tougher to spot.
Authorities told journalists that Moscow was deliberately attempting to destroy the national power system, with strikes already disrupting energy systems.
Officials stated utility staff and officials were anticipating more assaults.
