Throughout the evening, Moscow's aerial assaults have resulted in electricity outages in large parts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
Nine people were injured while residents in eastern districts were experienced blackouts and encountered interruptions to water supplies, per reports from local authorities.
Simultaneously, a young boy was fatally injured in a different assault in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southeastern part, as reported by area administrators.
Moscow has intensified assaults on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while the country's government has requested "substantial measures" from allies to exert influence on Russia.
"What is required is not window dressing but firm measures - from the America, European nations and the Group of Seven - in delivering defensive weapons and applying sanctions," he wrote in a online statement.
Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and more than 30 projectiles targeted the country's power systems, characterizing such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
The energy minister said Russia was "launching a major assault" and repair crews were striving to restore power.
A series of attacks struck energy infrastructure and civilian homes in Kyiv.
Five out of the nine people injured in the attacks on the capital have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by local officials.
Local officials said the metropolitan region endured significant strikes during nighttime hours. A young boy lost their life and three other people were injured.
The strikes come after nights of aerial attacks in the area, parts of which are currently controlled by Moscow's military.
The whole nation is on alert for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are harder to identify.
National leaders told reporters that Russia was deliberately attempting to destroy the country's energy grid, with assaults already disrupting fuel infrastructure.
Officials stated energy workers and officials were preparing for further attacks.
