Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes have resulted in power cuts in large parts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were hurt while local people in eastern neighborhoods were left without electricity and encountered disruption to water supplies, according to city officials.
Simultaneously, a minor was fatally injured in a separate aerial attack in the southeastern region in the southeastern part, based on information from area administrators.
Moscow has escalated strikes on energy facilities over recent weeks, while Ukrainian leadership has demanded "concrete actions" from partner nations to exert influence on Moscow.
"The necessity is not symbolic gestures but firm measures - from the America, the EU and the Group of Seven - in providing protection systems and enforcing restrictions," he wrote in a social media post.
Authorities reported that numerous aerial vehicles and over thirty projectiles attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure, characterizing such assaults as "premeditated" and against "critical infrastructure" as winter approaches.
Government representatives said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and technical staff were working to restore power.
A series of attacks struck energy infrastructure and apartment buildings in the capital.
Several of the people wounded in the strikes on the capital have been transported for medical care, per statements from city authorities.
Local officials said the metropolitan region endured heavy assaults overnight. A young boy was killed and three other people were wounded.
The strikes come after nights of bombing campaigns in the territory, sections of which remain under the control of Moscow's military.
The whole nation is in a state of readiness for advanced weapon attacks, which are more difficult to detect.
Government officials told the media that Russia was purposely seeking to destroy the country's energy grid, with assaults already disrupting gas facilities.
He said utility staff and authorities were preparing for further attacks.
