Overnight, Moscow's aerial assaults have led to blackouts in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
A number of civilians were hurt while local people in the city's east were plunged into darkness and dealt with disruption to water systems, as stated by city officials.
At the same time, a seven-year-old child was fatally injured in a different aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia area in the country's south-east, according to area administrators.
Moscow has intensified attacks on electrical systems over the last fortnight, while officials has demanded "substantial measures" from partner nations to exert influence on Russia.
"What's needed is not symbolic gestures but firm measures - from the United States, the EU and the G7 - in providing protection systems and implementing sanctions," he wrote in a online statement.
Authorities reported that numerous aerial vehicles and over thirty missiles targeted the country's power systems, characterizing such strikes as "strategic and deliberate" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as winter approaches.
The energy minister said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were laboring to fix the damage.
A series of attacks struck electrical systems and apartment buildings in the capital.
Five out of the nine people injured in the attacks on the capital have been hospitalized, as confirmed by local officials.
Area administrators said the urban area endured heavy assaults overnight. A seven-year-old child died and multiple civilians were hurt.
The attacks come after nights of air raids in the region, sections of which are occupied by invading troops.
