During the night, Russian aerial assaults have led to power cuts in multiple districts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Several individuals were injured while local people in the city's east were left without electricity and encountered interruptions to drinking water, per reports from local authorities.
At the same time, a seven-year-old child was fatally injured in a different aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia area in the country's south-east, according to regional authorities.
Moscow has escalated strikes on electrical systems over recent weeks, while the country's government has demanded "substantial measures" from international partners to apply pressure on Moscow.
"What is required is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the US, the EU and the G7 - in supplying defensive weapons and enforcing penalties," was stated in a public message.
He said that 450 drones and over thirty missiles targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such strikes as "premeditated" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.
The energy minister said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and repair crews were striving to restore power.
A wave of strikes damaged power facilities and residential structures in the capital.
Five out of the nine people injured in the attacks on the city have been hospitalized, according to city authorities.
Local officials said the urban area experienced significant strikes during nighttime hours. A seven-year-old child was killed and three other people were wounded.
The assaults come after evenings of aerial attacks in the territory, portions of which are currently controlled by invading troops.
All of Ukraine is under warning for advanced weapon attacks, which are tougher to identify.
Authorities told reporters that Moscow was deliberately attempting to damage the national power system, with attacks already affecting gas facilities.
Authorities confirmed utility staff and authorities were bracing for more assaults.
