Throughout the evening, Moscow's aerial assaults have caused power cuts in large parts of the capital city, Kyiv.

Nine people were hurt while residents in eastern districts were plunged into darkness and faced problems to water supplies, as stated by local authorities.

At the same time, a seven-year-old child was killed in a different Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southern area, based on information from local officials.

Russian forces has intensified attacks on energy facilities over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "real steps" from partner nations to exert influence on Moscow.

"What's needed is not superficial actions but decisive action - from the America, European nations and the Group of Seven - in delivering air defence systems and implementing restrictions," he wrote in a online statement.

He said that 450 drones and more than 30 missiles attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as the weather cools.

The energy minister said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and technical staff were striving to restore power.

A barrage of missiles hit power facilities and civilian homes in the capital.

Multiple people hurt in the strikes on the city have been taken to hospital, according to local officials.

Regional authorities said the city came under significant strikes during nighttime hours. A young boy was killed and three other people were hurt.

The strikes come after evenings of aerial attacks in the area, portions of which are currently controlled by invading troops.

The entire country is on alert for advanced weapon attacks, which are harder to detect.

National leaders told the media that Russia was purposely seeking to damage the electrical infrastructure, with assaults already impacting fuel infrastructure.

Officials stated utility staff and authorities were anticipating more assaults.
