Throughout the evening, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused power cuts in large parts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
Several individuals were injured while residents in the city's east were left without electricity and encountered disruption to drinking water, per reports from municipal leaders.
At the same time, a young boy was killed in a separate assault in the southeastern region in the southern area, based on information from area administrators.
Russian forces has intensified strikes on electrical systems over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has requested "real steps" from international partners to increase pressure on Russia.
"What's needed is not superficial actions but firm measures - from the America, Europe and the G7 - in delivering air defence systems and enforcing restrictions," he wrote in a social media post.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen projectiles targeted the country's power systems, characterizing such strikes as "strategic and deliberate" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
Government representatives said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were working to repair systems.
A barrage of missiles struck power facilities and residential structures in the capital.
Multiple people wounded in the assaults on the capital have been transported for medical care, as confirmed by municipal representatives.
Area administrators said the metropolitan region experienced intense attacks overnight. A seven-year-old child lost their life and several individuals were injured.
The strikes succeed periods of aerial attacks in the area, portions of which remain under the control of Russian forces.
The whole nation is in a state of readiness for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are harder to detect.
National leaders told the media that Russia was intentionally trying to demolish the national power system, with attacks already impacting energy systems.
Authorities confirmed technical personnel and officials were anticipating further attacks.
