Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes have led to electricity outages in large parts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were wounded while residents in the city's east were experienced blackouts and faced disruption to drinking water, according to city officials.
At the same time, a young boy was fatally injured in a separate assault in the southeastern region in the country's south-east, based on information from local officials.
Moscow has escalated strikes on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "concrete actions" from international partners to increase pressure on Moscow.
"The necessity is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the US, Europe and the major economies - in providing defensive weapons and implementing penalties," was stated in a online statement.
Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and over thirty rockets attacked energy facilities, characterizing such strikes as "strategic and deliberate" and against "essential services" as winter approaches.
Government representatives said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and technical staff were working to repair systems.
A wave of strikes damaged power facilities and civilian homes in the capital.
Five out of the nine people hurt in the strikes on the city have been hospitalized, per statements from city authorities.
Local officials said the urban area came under heavy assaults during nighttime hours. A seven-year-old child was killed and multiple civilians were wounded.
The strikes come after evenings of aerial attacks in the area, sections of which are occupied by invading troops.
The whole nation is on alert for advanced weapon attacks, which are harder to identify.
National leaders told journalists that Russia was deliberately attempting to destroy the country's energy grid, with strikes already impacting energy systems.
Authorities confirmed utility staff and authorities were anticipating further attacks.
