Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have led to power cuts in extensive areas of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were wounded while inhabitants in eastern districts were plunged into darkness and dealt with disruption to water systems, as stated by local authorities.
Meanwhile, a young boy was killed in a different Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southern area, based on information from area administrators.
Moscow has intensified strikes on power infrastructure over the past few days, while officials has demanded "real steps" from partner nations to increase pressure on Moscow.
"The necessity is not symbolic gestures but strong steps - from the US, the EU and the major economies - in delivering air defence systems and enforcing restrictions," he wrote in a social media post.
Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty rockets struck energy facilities, describing such assaults as "premeditated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.
The energy minister said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were striving to repair systems.
A barrage of missiles hit energy infrastructure and civilian homes in the capital.
Multiple people wounded in the assaults on the city have been hospitalized, according to local officials.
Area administrators said the metropolitan region experienced intense attacks during nighttime hours. A young boy died and several individuals were hurt.
