During the night, Russian aerial assaults have led to power cuts in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
Nine people were injured while local people in eastern neighborhoods were plunged into darkness and faced disruption to water systems, according to local authorities.
Simultaneously, a seven-year-old child was fatally injured in a different Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southeastern part, as reported by local officials.
Moscow has increased strikes on power infrastructure over the past few days, while the country's government has requested "concrete actions" from international partners to apply pressure on Moscow.
"What is required is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the United States, the EU and the major economies - in delivering protection systems and implementing penalties," was stated in a social media post.
Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and several dozen projectiles targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, characterizing such attacks as "premeditated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were working to fix the damage.
A series of attacks damaged power facilities and civilian homes in Kyiv.
Five out of the nine people hurt in the strikes on the city have been transported for medical care, per statements from municipal representatives.
Area administrators said the city came under significant strikes overnight. A minor died and several individuals were wounded.
The attacks follow evenings of aerial attacks in the area, portions of which are occupied by invading troops.
The entire country is under warning for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are more difficult to spot.
National leaders told journalists that Moscow was intentionally trying to destroy the country's energy grid, with strikes already affecting energy systems.
Authorities confirmed technical personnel and officials were anticipating additional strikes.
