Throughout the evening, Russian missile and drone strikes have led to blackouts in large parts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
Several individuals were hurt while local people in eastern districts were plunged into darkness and faced problems to water systems, according to local authorities.
At the same time, a seven-year-old child was killed in a distinct Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southern area, according to local officials.
Russian forces has increased attacks on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has demanded "substantial measures" from international partners to apply pressure on Moscow.
"The necessity is not window dressing but decisive action - from the US, the EU and the major economies - in supplying protection systems and applying penalties," was stated in a social media post.
Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 projectiles targeted the country's power systems, labeling such assaults as "strategic and deliberate" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.
The energy minister said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and repair crews were striving to repair systems.
A wave of strikes damaged electrical systems and civilian homes in the capital.
Several of the people injured in the strikes on the city have been hospitalized, according to city authorities.
Local officials said the metropolitan region endured significant strikes overnight. A young boy was killed and three other people were wounded.
The attacks come after periods of aerial attacks in the area, parts of which are currently controlled by Russian forces.
The entire country is on alert for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are tougher to spot.
National leaders told reporters that Russia was deliberately attempting to destroy the national power system, with strikes already affecting energy systems.
Officials stated energy workers and government agencies were bracing for further attacks.
