During the night, Moscow's aerial assaults have led to blackouts in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
A number of civilians were injured while local people in eastern neighborhoods were left without electricity and encountered disruption to water supplies, per reports from municipal leaders.
At the same time, a young boy was lost their life in a separate Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southeastern part, based on information from local officials.
Moscow has increased attacks on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while the country's government has called for "real steps" from international partners to increase pressure on Moscow.
"What's needed is not symbolic gestures but decisive action - from the United States, Europe and the G7 - in delivering defensive weapons and applying sanctions," was stated in a public message.
Authorities reported that numerous aerial vehicles and several dozen rockets targeted energy facilities, characterizing such attacks as "premeditated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as winter approaches.
The energy minister said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and technical staff were working to repair systems.
A wave of strikes struck energy infrastructure and residential structures in Kyiv.
Multiple people wounded in the assaults on the capital have been taken to hospital, per statements from municipal representatives.
Regional authorities said the metropolitan region endured intense attacks overnight. A young boy lost their life and three other people were hurt.
The strikes come after nights of aerial attacks in the area, sections of which remain under the control of Russian forces.
All of Ukraine is under warning for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are harder to detect.
Authorities told journalists that Moscow was purposely seeking to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with strikes already impacting gas facilities.
He said energy workers and authorities were preparing for more assaults.
