Throughout the evening, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have led to electricity outages in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
A number of civilians were wounded while residents in eastern neighborhoods were left without electricity and faced problems to water supplies, per reports from municipal leaders.
At the same time, a young boy was killed in a separate aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia region in the country's south-east, as reported by regional authorities.
Moscow has escalated strikes on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while the country's government has called for "substantial measures" from international partners to apply pressure on Moscow.
"The necessity is not symbolic gestures but strong steps - from the US, the EU and the Group of Seven - in providing protection systems and implementing sanctions," he wrote in a online statement.
Authorities reported that 450 drones and more than 30 rockets attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure, characterizing such assaults as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as the weather cools.
Energy officials said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were working to restore power.
A series of attacks hit electrical systems and apartment buildings in the capital.
Five out of the nine people wounded in the attacks on the capital have been taken to hospital, per statements from municipal representatives.
Regional authorities said the metropolitan region came under significant strikes during nighttime hours. A seven-year-old child died and multiple civilians were hurt.
The assaults follow evenings of air raids in the territory, parts of which remain under the control of Moscow's military.
The whole nation is in a state of readiness for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are tougher to identify.
Government officials told the media that Moscow was purposely seeking to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with assaults already affecting fuel infrastructure.
Officials stated utility staff and authorities were preparing for further attacks.
